An electric current is created when a magnet is spun rapidly inside a coil of wire. A turbine (usually powered by water or wind) spins a magnet inside a coil. This action induces an electric current in the coil that can be used to power a light bulb.

How is an electromagnet like a permanent magnet?
No an electromagNet is created via electricity, once the electricity stops so does the magnet it can be created using a current in a wire tightly wrapped around a iron or metal rod
What produces electricity by using a coil of wire and a magnet or steel which produces a magnetic field when electricity flows through the wire?
An electro-magnet is th aswer. Hey STOP CHEATING ON YOUR HOMEWORK AND CHECK OUT MY YOUTUBE! it is ....... http://www.youtube.com/nickjonasfan910
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.
Can you make electicity from a magnet?
Yes, magnets are spun rapidly inside coils of wire to induce an electric current within the wire, this is the basic principal of an electricity generator.
Why do you get electricity when a magnet touches a wire?
because a magnet has positive charges and is also a allows electricity current ot flow through, by so doing we end up getting 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.
Can a magnet be used to produce electricity?
A spinning magnet inside a coil of copper wire will produce electricity.
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" :)

What does copper wire and magnets have to do with Electricity?
a magnet moved through a copper coil makes electricity

How can electricity produce by using magnet?
Electricity is generated when a piece of conductive metal (such as copper) is passed through a magnetic field (or if the magnetic field is moved around the metal). A generator will have a copper wire in the center, surrounded by a magnet shaped like a torus (donut shaped, wire is in the hole in the middle). The wire is stationary. Electricity is generated when the magnet is spun (moving the magnetic field around the wire). This will generate an AC current (alternating current).

Can electricity be generated by turning a large magnet inside a wire coil?
yes
How do you make electricity with a wire and a magnet?
If a wire - or in fact, any conductor - moves in a magnetic field, a voltage will be induced in the wire or conductor. To actually get electricity for something useful, quite a few additional things are required. Do some reading about generators, to see how they are built.
