Do electrons continuously flow from north to south pole in magnets. If yes, does this continue to happen when the magnet is attracted or repelled by another magnet or to a ferrite?
drmagtri said:You are exactly right OP, the flow of the north and south pole magnets causes the magnetic domains to align themselves. The magnet is not the metal itself, it is the substance circulating in the metal.
The magnet is not the metal itself, it is the substance circulating in the metal.
drmagtri said:In any magnet there is indeed a magnetic current flow. If it were the metal itself then we would not be able to change the poles or make the material not a magnet anymore.
Electron flow in magnets refers to the movement of electrons within a magnetic material, which creates a magnetic field. This flow of electrons is what allows magnets to attract or repel other magnetic materials.
When electrons flow through a magnetic material, they align themselves in a specific direction, creating a magnetic moment. This alignment of electrons creates a magnetic field around the material, which can attract or repel other magnetic materials.
In permanent magnets, the electrons within the material are already aligned in a specific direction. This alignment is maintained even when the magnet is not in the presence of an external magnetic field. This allows the magnet to retain its magnetic properties over time.
Yes, electron flow in magnets can be controlled by applying an external magnetic field. This can alter the alignment of the electrons and therefore change the strength and direction of the magnetic field produced by the magnet.
Electron flow in magnets is used in a variety of technologies such as electric motors, generators, and magnetic storage devices like hard drives. By controlling the flow of electrons, these technologies can produce and utilize magnetic fields for various purposes.
