EM properties of ferrous liquids in spherical form

[quantumstrides]

I am an ameteur physicist (i actually have my degree in meteorology), and i have some questions about the EM properties of liquid metals or ferrous liquids when in spherical form. I understand if you are too busy or if i sound off, but if you do have the time to answer a few questions, it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you,

Aaron, we can't answer until you ask your question..

 

What exactly do you want to know about the EM properties of liquid metals in spherical forms? Or is this a general "what is it" question?

i am curious as to what the result would be if you wrapped it in insulated wire and ran a current through it. kinda like an electromagnet...

 

for instance, if i encase my ferrous fluid in a non conductive sphere, wrapped it in multi-(but symetrical) directional wiring, and run a current through it. i am trying to find out what kind of forces are produced, and if there are forces can they be manipulated to have a specific result.
