There are primers that are directly fired by an electric current- they are non standard, and rarely seen. Regular primers are fired by being struck- impact- but can explode at high temperatures. If a current passing through a primer raises the temperature enough, it will explode.

What is the difference between centerfire and rimfire rifles?
A center-fire cartridge has a primer on the base or bottom, as the firing pin or hammer strikes the primer-cap it ignites the powder through a hole ( or two holes) inside the cartridge. A rim-fire has a flat metal rim on the base and no primer (such as a .22cal LR.)
What happens if you turn off the electric current in the solenoid?
If you turn off the electric current in the solenoid, the solenoid quits pulling its armature.
What mechanism takes place when you press trigger of a gun in gun?
When you pull the trigger the hammer (which was cocked back before) is released and it hits the primer on the cartridge which sets off the powder in the cartridge, and the bullet is propelled forward.
What are electromagents?
Magnets that are turned on by passing an electric current through them, and turned off by not allowing an electric current through them.
What is centerfire rifle?
centerfire merly means that the bullet is fired via a primer seated in the rear middle of a cartridge. that differs from a muzzel loading firarm which requires the charge to be set off with a nipple cap as apposed to a center fire primer.........
What happens with the energy associated to the magnetic field of a coil with electric current if the electric current is turned off?
The magnetic field or energy associated with the magnetic field will no longer be generated if the current is turned off.
How much pressure on a bullet primer to make it go off?
The pressure required to ignite a bullet primer typically ranges from 25,000 to 35,000 pounds per square inch (psi). This pressure is generated by the firing pin striking the primer cup, causing it to crush the priming compound and ignite, subsequently firing the cartridge.
When this is turned off the electromagnet is no longer magnetic?
Electric current.
What makes the 22 windchester rifle fire?
When you pull the trigger,it releases the firing pin in the bolt and allows the firing pin to rush forward and strike the rim of the .22cal cartridge setting off the primer mixture found along the inside of the rim in the cartridge,This fires the primer and creates a flame that ignites the powder found inside the cartridge which ignites and burns creating pressure which propels the bullet from the case and pushes it down the barrel of the firearm and out the bore.
How do bullets work?
They can be either rimfire or centrefire cartridges, but the operating principle is the same. The hammer strikes the back of the cartridge - the rim on a rimfire, and the primer on a centrefire cartridge - which sets off a chain reaction that ultimately ignites the gunpowder in the cartridge. The expanding gases from the ignited gunpowder is what separates the projectile from the casing and propels the projectile down the barrel.
Why is electric current felt in an electric wire when the switch is turned off?
When the switch is turned off in an electric circuit, there may still be residual electric current present in the wire due to capacitance or inductance effects. This residual current can result in a small sensation when the individual touches the wire. However, the sensation should be much weaker than when the circuit is actually active.
Can electromagnets be turned off by opening an electric circuit?
True.. Yes, they operate by turning the current on and off
