Law and Legislation. CIVIL RIGHTS LAWS. California led the nation in 1991 by enacting criminal sanctions for the violation of civil rights laws. The laws provide enhanced sentences for those convicted of violent or threatening behavior based on race, gender, religion, age, disabilities or sexual preference.
The fact that current carrying loops experience a net torque in a magnetic field is the principle behind the electric motor, where the electrical energy involved in establishing a current is converted into the mechanical energy of rotating a shaft.
The magnetic fields result from the flow of current through wires or electrical devices and increase in strength as the current increases. Magnetic fields are measured in units of Gauss (G) or Tesla (T). Gauss is most commonly used in the United States and Telsa is the internationally accepted term. Unlike an electric field, a magnetic field is only produced when the current is flowing.
