Magnetic Fields And Stuff Flashcards
1
Q
What is a magnetic field?
A
A magnetic field is the region around a permanent magnet or a current carrying conductor in which other magnetic objects will experience a force.
Magnetic field lines are drawn in the direction a ‘free’ north pole would move.
2
Q
Electromagnetism
A
When a charged particle moves, it creates a magnetic field. Therefore, when a current pass through a wire a magnetic field is produced.
3
Q
How do magnetic field lines move
A
From North to South
4
Q
How is a uniform field represented?
A
Equally spaced and parallel magnetic field lines
