Magnetic Field Overview & Ferromagnetic Materials

magnetic field The shape of the magnetic field depends on the shape of the conductor When the current travels through a wire the field is circular The field is strongest

2) A second current or charge responds to the magnetic field and experiences a magnetic force 1 Magnetism Permanent magnets: exert forces on each royal enfield The magnetic field of the magnet is strongest at the poles The direction of the magnetic field shows the direction the force would act on another north pole
