When an electric current passes through a metal wire, a magnetic field forms around that wire (see diagram at right). Likewise, a wire passing through a magnetic field creates an electric current ...

One way to get moving charges is to run electric current through a wire. (This is literally a stream of electrons.) This will create a magnetic field, and other wires with electric current will ...

Nearly two centuries after Faraday's failed attempts, scientists have demonstrated that Earth's continuous spin can directly ...

A coil of wire, or solenoid, consists of a wire coiled up into a spiral shape. When an electric current flows, the shape of the magnetic field is very similar to the field of a bar magnet.

Indeed there is, in addition to the obvious ways to manipulate the spin using magnetic fields, an indirect effect on the electron spin from externally applied electric fields, due to the so-called ...

One promising solution comes from an unusual effect called nonreciprocal electronic transport, where electric current ... the magnetic structure using external magnetic fields, which in turn ...

American researchers have measured a tiny electrical voltage by exploiting Earth's magnetic field in the planet's rotational motion. This discovery, though modest, revives a scientific debate ...

“The electric and magnetic fields at a material’s atomic level determine its bulk properties and behavior, and are an essential area of research,” says Toshiaki Tanigaki, a senior researcher ...
