Does passing a magnet through a coil of wire break off it’s electric current

A magnetic field is actually generated by a moving current (or moving electric charge specifically). The magnetic field generated by a moving current can be found by using the right hand rule, point your right thumb in the direction of current flow, then the wrap of your fingers will tell you what direction the magnetic field is. In the case of current traveling up a wire, the magnetic field generated will encircle the wire. Similarly electromagnets work by having a wire coil, and causing current to spin in a circle, generating a magnetic field perpendicular to the current flow (again right hand rule).

So if you were to take a permenant magnet and cut a hole in it then string a straight wire through it... my guess is nothing too interesting would happen. The two different magnetic fields might ineteract in a peculiar way, but nothing too fascinating, perhaps if you give me more context as to what you might think would happen or what made you come up with this question I could help.

In space movies, spacecrafts explode and oxygen is needed for a fire to start. Why is it wrong? What would really happen?

Triss [41]

Answer:

Hey

The reason these "space movies" are wrong is because objects in "space" (not in a "space" craft) can't catch on fire because there is no air in "space".

Which would have the longer orbital period: a moon 1 million km from the center of Jupiter, or a moon 1 million km from the cent

Harman [31]

Answer:

earth

Explanation:

The formula for the orbital period of the moon is given by

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{r}{g}}$

As the time period is inversely proportional to the square root of the acceleration due to gravity of the planet.

As the value of acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter is more than the earth, so the period of moon around the earth is large as compared to the period of the moon around the Jupiter when the distance is same.

Which of the following statements most accurately differentiates potential and kinetic energy? A. Any object that has no motion

Aleks [24]

Answer:

B. Any object that has motion has potential energy, wow any object not in motion light with the potential to do work and kinetic.

Explanation:

Potential Energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others, stresses within itself, electric charge, and other factors. Kinetic Energy is energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.
