When current (DC) passed through a wire it creates a magnetic field around it, right? But if you placed magnets around that wire would they interact with the electricity flowing through the wire? If so, to what extent?
Electricity (DC) and magnetism are two fundamental forces of nature that are closely related. Electricity is the flow of electric charge through a conductor, while magnetism is the force exerted by magnets or moving electric charges.
The main difference between AC (alternating current) and DC (direct current) electricity is the direction in which the electric charge flows. In DC, the charge flows in one direction, while in AC, the charge alternates direction.
Electricity and magnetism are related through the phenomenon of electromagnetism. This means that when an electric current flows through a wire, it creates a magnetic field around the wire. Similarly, a changing magnetic field can induce an electric current in a conductor.
Electricity and magnetism are used in a wide variety of everyday technologies and devices. Some examples include electric motors, generators, MRI machines, and speakers. They are also used to power homes, cars, and electronic devices such as computers and smartphones.
Electricity and magnetism have numerous applications in science, including in the study of electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, and particle physics. They are also essential in the development of new technologies and materials, such as superconductors and electromagnetic propulsion systems.
