East to West defines a line, what plane do you speak about?Suyash Singh said:
Plane of the paper?Suyash Singh said:
The paper can be horizontal, vertical, or can stand in any direction.cnh1995 said:
the plane of paper since north south east west are in plane of paper.ehild said:
Your fingers come out of the paper beside the wire or above it. Just under the wire the fingers stand in the North-West direction, and having short fingers, the tips would point to the South. The green vector represents the direction of the magnetic field under the wire.Suyash Singh said:
When an electric charge is in motion, it creates a magnetic field around it. This is because the moving charge generates a magnetic force, which is a result of the interaction between the moving charge and the existing magnetic field in the space. The magnetic field around a moving charge is represented by magnetic field lines, which form a closed loop around the charge.
A moving charge experiences a force when it enters a magnetic field. The direction of this force is perpendicular to both the direction of motion of the charge and the direction of the magnetic field. The magnitude of the force is dependent on the speed of the charge, the strength of the magnetic field, and the angle between the two.
Electricity and magnetism are closely related phenomena. Moving electric charges produce magnetic fields, and changing magnetic fields can induce electric currents. This relationship is described by Maxwell's equations, which unify the two forces into the theory of electromagnetism.
A current-carrying wire creates a magnetic field around it. When this wire is placed in an external magnetic field, the two magnetic fields interact. This results in a force being exerted on the wire, causing it to move in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the external magnetic field and the direction of the current in the wire.
A permanent magnet is a material that has its own magnetic field and can produce a magnetic force without the need for an external source of electricity. An electromagnet, on the other hand, is a coil of wire with an electric current passing through it, which creates a magnetic field. The strength of an electromagnet can be varied by changing the amount of electric current flowing through it, while a permanent magnet has a fixed strength.
