What Are the Key Concepts and Applications of Magnetism?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the fundamental concepts and applications of magnetism, specifically addressing how material properties influence magnetization, the magnetic field around a straight conductor, the direction of the magnetic field in a solenoid, and the function of a relay. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding these principles, particularly in relation to technological advancements such as the telephone. The conversation highlights the need for clarity in questions posed within educational forums to facilitate effective learning.

I just have some questions about this stuff...

How can the nature of a material determine if it can be made into a magnet?

Whats the field around a straight conducter look like?

Whats the direction of the magnetic field of a soleniod?

Whats the action of a relay?

How are the principles of magnetism related to the development of the telephone?

You can't just post questions verbatim in the homework thread - we are here to help and explain not just to copy out answers.
Especially when you were told about this yesterday and have simply reposted the same questions as a new thread.
Irrespective of the official sanctions about this, people will simply start ignoring any threads by you.

I suggest you look at wikipedia first then come back and ask about any specific points you don't understand.
 
Whoa calm it down, seroiusly wat is your problem? I am asking the question because i do not understand the answers? and i thought the thing from yesterday was telling me that my questions didnt make sense and i had to reword them, like you can either help or not but don't run me down on what i feel i need help on. thanks.!
