Answer:

What is Electric current?

An electric current is a stream of charged particles, such as electrons or ions, moving through an electrical conductor or space. It is measured as the net rate of flow of electric charge past a region.

What is a Magnetic Field?

A magnetic field is a vector field that describes the magnetic influence on moving electric charges, electric currents, and magnetized materials.

How can an electrical current produce a magnetic field?

These circles stretch out along the wire, forming cylinders. If an electric current is passed through a long coil of wire (a solenoid ) a magnetic field is produced which is the same shape as that of a bar magnet.

How can a magnetic field produce an electrical current?

Moving magnetic fields pull and push electrons. ... Moving a magnet around a coil of wire, or moving a coil of wire around a magnet, pushes the electrons in the wire and creates an electrical current.

Answer:

As Ampere suggested, a magnetic field is produced whenever an electrical charge is in motion. The spinning and orbiting of the nucleus of an atom produces a magnetic field as does electrical current flowing through a wire. The direction of the spin and orbit determine the direction of the magnetic field.
