The simple answer is by induction. Induction is the "sweeping" of a magnetic field across a conductor and the generation of electromotive force (EMF) or voltage in this action. By taking a rotor with many turns of wire on it and rotating it inside a stator, which has a permanent magnetic field (either from permanent magnets or, more likely, an electromagnet), we generate electricity. It's done all the time.

∙ 11y agoIf the North pole of a magnet is placed directly opposite a South plot of another magnet, with a space between them, you will have a Magnetic Field between these two magnets. (Like this S-----N S-----N) If a wire is placed midway between the N and S poles, and rapidly moved in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the wire, then electricity will be created , and will flow through the wire. Of course the two ends of the wire must be connected to something (say a light bulb )
To answer your question, the answer is NO.
To create electricity the WIRE must move, NOT the metal pole . In fact you do not need a metal pole at all. If you make a coil of wire and move the coil rapidly ACROSS the magnetic field and at right angles to the field, electricity will be generated . If you wrap the wire around a soft iron pole, then you must move the wires in the same direction as the axis of the metal pole. Moving the pole does nothing. You must move the wire and the pole together, or the pole can be left stationary.
A scientist named Fleming showed that the direction of the Magnetic Field, and the direction of the Wire, and the direction of the Movement , must always be at right angles to each other. In other words these 3 things must be in an X & Y & Z axis, to make it happen.

∙ 12y agoYES we can. Actually electric generators use the same basic idea to generate electricity.
In generators, a current carrying coil of insulated copper wire is placed between two opposite poles of magnets ( using two different magnets) and when the coil is rotated it induces electric current.

∙ 7y agoA magnet alone will not generate electricity. However if you have one or two other components such as a coil of copper wire and you move the magnet in this copper wire coil, electricity will flow in the copper wire.

∙ 15y agoYes, they are two of the most important components.

∙ 14y agoit can easily be done by using the magnet attraction and creating rotation , for more inf go to www.magpower.us

∙ 10y agoMagnetic generally generate electricity just by moving the magnet. Although you can't actually "create" energy, by rotating a magnet, you generate kinetic energy.

∙ 13y agoYes - that's exactly how generators work.

What are magnets found in nature such as as magnetitie?
no. because many magnet we can produce by electricity ourself
Plastic combs in dry hair create static electricity. What kind of electricity is this?
This electricity is static electricity, as you asked. See the related question and the link below.
What happened to a bar magnet when broken in half?
Six. Every bar magnet has 2 poles. If a bar magnet is broken, each resultant piece will be a bar magnet in its own right.
Why does static electricity and wood stick together?
Objects like a dry wood stick does not conduct electricity but they may accumulate electrostatic charges on their surface
How are magnets used to generate elecricty in a power station?
Yes, you can. You may recall that by running electricity through a coiled wire (solenoid) with an iron bar in the center, we can create an electromagnet. If we reverse this process and put a strong magnet through a solenoid, we can generate electricity. All you will have to do is move the magnet up and down in order to generate electricity.
How is a generator useful?
it uses electricity to create a magnet
How is generalizing useful?
it uses electricity to create a magnet
Will Dragging a magnet through a wire coil will create electricity?
Yes. That peculiar action weill create a current in the coil for as long as you keep the magnet moving.
How does a magnet create electricity?
It is not the magnet alone, but the movement of a conductor (wire) in a magnetic field will induce a voltage (and a current, if it is connected in a circuit).
How do you create electricity at any place?
by moving a piece of magnet in between a copper coil.
Does salt water passing through a magnet create electricity?
no salt is non magnetic
What do you predict what is going to happen if I try to see if electricity can produce a magnet?
If you use DC, you will create a magnet, and quickly kill your battery. If you use AC, you will not create a magnet, and possibly trip a circuit breaker. In either case, you're likely to create a large, noisy spark before you're through.
What is the difference between magnets and electromagnet?
an electromagnet is a magnet which is activated by electricity and it ceases to be a magnet once the electric supply is stopped whereas a magnet is a natural magnet which does not need electricity and continues to be a magnet whether it is supplied by electricity or not.
Does a magnet just the word magnet conduct electricity?
no it does not.
How is a moving magnet used to create electricity?
makes current flow through a magnet
How is electricity made inside the generator?
electricity in a generator is made by spinning a magnet inside a coil the flux lines of the magnet will cut through the coil and create a current. you can turn the magnet in numerous ways, by using wind mills, water mills, or heating water with coal, oil, gas or nuclear energy, and let the steam rush into a turbine which then moves the magnet.
Can a magnet be used to produce electricity?
A spinning magnet inside a coil of copper wire will produce electricity.
