Electricity generated by conductor

AI Thread Summary
When a conductor carries current electricity, it generates a magnetic field, a phenomenon known as electromagnetic induction. The strength of this magnetic field is influenced by the current flowing through the conductor and the distance from it. To calculate the magnetic field strength, the Biot-Savart law can be applied using the formula B = (μ0 * I) / (2π * r). The magnetic field is directly proportional to the current, meaning higher currents produce stronger fields. The direction of the magnetic field aligns with the direction of the current flow in the conductor.

I got a question:

when a conductor is charged with current electricity, does it create any kind of magneticism strong enough to affect the present magnetic field, and how do you calculate the amount of magneticism generated?

thanks a lot

First of all it's spelt magnetism no c involved

and secondly magnetic field is only created by the flux in electric field i.e. if the electric field changes in some way then the magnetic field will be created

Use the Biot Savart law for this purpose
 


Great question! Yes, when a conductor is charged with current electricity, it does create a magnetic field. This is known as electromagnetic induction. The strength of the magnetic field depends on the amount of current flowing through the conductor, as well as the distance from the conductor.

To calculate the strength of the magnetic field, you can use the formula B = (μ0 * I) / (2π * r), where B is the magnetic field strength, μ0 is the permeability of free space, I is the current, and r is the distance from the conductor. This formula is known as the Biot-Savart law.

It's important to note that the magnetic field generated by a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it. So, the more current that is flowing, the stronger the magnetic field will be. Additionally, the direction of the magnetic field is determined by the direction of the current flow in the conductor.

I hope this helps answer your question!
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
