## What are two ways you can increase the strength of the magnetic field produced by an electromagnet?

You can make an electromagnet stronger by doing these things:

• wrapping the coil around a piece of iron (such as an iron nail)
• adding more turns to the coil.
• increasing the current flowing through the coil.

## What two factors affect the strength of a magnetic field?

Factors Affecting the Strength of the Magnetic Field of an Electromagnet: Factors that affect the strength of electromagnets are the nature of the core material, strength of the current passing through the core, the number of turns of wire on the core and the shape and size of the core.

## How can you increase the strength of an electromagnet in Class 10?

Strength of electromagnet: The strength of the electromagnet net can be increased:

1. By increasing the current in the coil.
2. By increasing the total number of turns of the coil.

## Which is the way to increase the strength of the magnetic field of a solenoid?

Two ways to increase the strength of a solenoid are: 1) By increasing number of turns of insulated copper wire. 2)By increasing current in the circuit.

## What makes an electromagnet stronger?

An electromagnet is stronger if there are more turns in the coil of wire or there is more current flowing through it. A bigger bar or one made of material that is easier to magnetize also increases an electromagnet’s strength.

## What is the unit of magnetic field strength?

Usually, magnetic field strength is defined by the unit of Oe・A/m ( Oersted・Ampere/meter ). And when it is defined by flux density, the units of G (Gauss) or T (Tesla) are used.

## What is difference between B and H?

The difference between B and H is that B is used for representing the magnetic flux density while H is used for representing the magnetic field intensity.

## How do you calculate the electromagnetic field strength?

For each configuration of conductors carrying an electric current the field strength in any point of the surrounding space can be calculated by solving the integral equation (6.1). A current I through a long, straight wire produces a magnetic field with strength H=I/2πr at a distance r from the wire.

## Does electric field strength depend on distance?

Both the magnitude and direction of the Coulomb force field depend on Q and the test charge q. The electric field is thus seen to depend only on the charge Q and the distance r; it is completely independent of the test charge q.

## How do you solve electric field?

In vector calculus notation, the electric field is given by the negative of the gradient of the electric potential, E = −grad V. This expression specifies how the electric field is calculated at a given point. Since the field is a vector, it has both a direction and magnitude.

## What influences the strength of an electric field?

The field strength at a particular distance from an object is directly proportional to the electric charge, in coulombs, on that object. The field strength is inversely proportional to the distance from a charged object.

## What is the relation between electric field and force?

The strength of the electric field is defined as the electrostatic force experienced by a small test charge qo placed at that point divided by the charge itself. The electric field is a vector, and its direction is the same as the direction of the force on a positive test charge.

## Why electric field inside a conductor is zero?

Due to a large number of electrons, the force of repulsion acting in between them is also very high. Hence in order to minimize the repulsion between electrons, the electrons move to the surface of the conductor. Hence we can say that the net charge inside the conductor is zero.

## Is there an electric field inside an insulator?

We define a conductor as a material in which charges are free to move over macroscopic distances—i.e., they can leave their nuclei and move around the material. An insulator is anything else. There can be no electric field inside a conductor.

## What happens when an insulator is placed in an electric field?

When an insulator, also called the dielectric, is placed in an electric field, it gets polarised. The polarised dielectric reduces the effective electric field.

## Can electric fields go through a conductor?

As they’ve explained, electric field lines cannot pass through the conductor for then E will either form a closed loop (cannot happen cause curl E=0) or it will pass from the inner surface to the outer and there will be potential difference which is a contradiction (Conductors have equipotential surfaces).

## How do insulators affect electric field?

A material being ‘an insulator’ is related to conductance/resistance. Strictlky speaking it has no effect on the electric field. A vacuum is an insulator and this does not affect the eelctric field. However, there is another property that insulators show – the molecules are capable of being polarised.

## Is Earth a conductor?

Since the earth is large and most ground is a good conductor, it can supply or accept excess charge easily. In this case, electrons are attracted to the sphere through a wire called the ground wire, because it supplies a conducting path to the ground.

## Why electric field strength in a sphere is zero?

It follows that: The electric field immediately above the surface of a conductor is directed normal to that surface. Now, the gaussian surface encloses no charge, since all of the charge lies on the shell, so it follows from Gauss’ law, and symmetry, that the electric field inside the shell is zero.
