Can charged baryons flow induce magnetic field?

In summary, electric current can be defined as the flow of charged particles, including both electrons and charged baryons. Both types of current can induce a magnetic field when the same amperage is present. However, baryon flow also involves mass transfer. The LHC beam, which includes both electrons and protons, has a current of half an ampere. Even if a heavier ion with the same charge is used, the same magnetic effect will occur with the same amperage. This has been confirmed twice and is now fully understood.

We all think that electric current is the electrons flow without mass transfer in conductor, i.e. charged lepton flow.
But charged baryons flow can also deemed as "electric" current, e.g. ionic current.
My question is that charged baryons flow can induce magnetic field? Same amperes, then same B & H?
Of course, baryons flow is accompanied with mass transfer.

Yes.

Also, electrons have mass.

Sure. The LHC beam has a current of about half an ampere.

Proton is the lightest ion, a heavy ion with same charge may be +100X heavier than proton, if heavy ions beam same amperes, still same magnetic effect?

For the second time, yes. You understand this correctly.

1. What are charged baryons?

Charged baryons are subatomic particles that have a non-zero charge, such as protons and neutrons. They are composed of three quarks and are the building blocks of atomic nuclei.

2. How can charged baryons flow induce a magnetic field?

When charged baryons, such as protons, move in a specific direction, they create a magnetic field due to their electric charge. This movement of charged particles is also known as an electric current, which generates a magnetic field around it.

3. Can charged baryon flow induce a magnetic field in a vacuum?

Yes, charged baryon flow can induce a magnetic field in a vacuum. This is because the movement of charged particles, even in a vacuum, creates an electric current and subsequently, a magnetic field.

4. How does the strength of the magnetic field depend on the flow of charged baryons?

The strength of the magnetic field induced by charged baryon flow depends on the velocity of the particles and the number of particles per unit volume. The faster the particles move and the higher their concentration, the stronger the magnetic field will be.

5. Can charged baryon flow induce a magnetic field in non-metallic materials?

Yes, charged baryon flow can induce a magnetic field in non-metallic materials. This is because the movement of charged particles can occur in any material, not just metals. However, the strength of the induced magnetic field may be weaker in non-metallic materials compared to metals.
