When a wire carries an electric current it products a?

It produces a magnetic field. Vice versa, when you run a magnet past a wire you generate an electric current. Electricity and magnetism are related. If you have electricity you can generate magnetism, if you have a magnet you can produce electricity.


How do you supercharge a magnet?

You can supercharge a magnet by coiling a metal wire around a magnet then hooking both ends of the wire to a battery. Make sure the wire can conduct electricity and the more coils around the magnet, the better.

How are eltromagnets used in generators?

Any time a magnet passes through a coil of copper wire (the electro magnet) it produces electricity. In all reallity, you don't really have an electro magnet in a generator. Since the Coil or(field) is making the electricity instead of using electricity, the electro magnet isn't really a magnet; but more like an "anti-magnet" :)


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).
