If your equation is in vertex form, then the axis of is: x= h in the general vertex form equation y = (x-h)2 + k. If your equation is in standard form, then the formula for the axis of symmetry is: $$ x = \frac {-b}{ 2a} $$ from the general standard form equation $$ y = ax^2 +bx + c $$.
Lesson Summary. All magnetic fields are created by moving charged particles. Stationary charged particles do not generate magnetic fields. An electromagnet is a magnet that relies on an electric current to produce the magnetic field. The simplest electromagnet is simply a wire carrying a current, which generates a magnetic field all around the wire.
A magnetic field is a force field that is created by moving electric charges (electric currents) and magnetic dipoles, and exerts a force on other nearby moving charges and magnetic dipoles. At any given point, it has a direction and a magnitude (or strength), so it is represented by a vector field.
