1 Answer

Answer:

Electric currents are created when electrons move from atom to atom within a solid metal wire. We measure currents in amperes (A). An electromagnetic field is created by connecting a piece of wire to both ends of a battery and wrapping the wire around a nail at the center. Turning on the electrical current produces a magnetic field.
