If V=10V. I= 0. There is no demand for current in the circuit. Lets say it was "off". And A magnet passes through the circuit, can a magnet field be generated? Is a magnetic field created due to flow of current I, or the presence of V alone can do that?

If there is no current, that means charges are not in motion, It won't have a magnetic field associated with it. When there is just a potential, there is only static electric field. Charges are static. So no magnetic field

You might think so... ...until you drop a magnet down a copper tube. :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GpuySSf2so

Or an aluminum tube, for that matter. :-)

@qweqwe123123123123111 Yea good point. I thought so as well... But still, if U had 0 voltage no movement of charges... Maybe there is a static field that a magnet is passing through? as @fringe said...

@Jemurray3 Whats your take here?

OpenStudy (ghazi):

current is generated due to changing magnetic flux, that is certainly change in magnetic field , and changing current also produces magnetic field , so a magnet passing through the wire has nothing to do with circuit, yea for a moment it will generate an instantaneous current but wont be considerable , depends on the strength of magnetic field.

@ghazi So... When the current is zero in a circuit does that mean there is no change in B = No B at all? Lets say a magnet is passing through that circuit, and voltage is still 0. Will a B field other than the magnet exist?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The point is having \[I \neq 0 \] That would generated a \[B field\] Copper pie has current passing though it I guess...?! I don't know this makes no sense...
