Magnets make electricity by moving electrons through conductive material. This is accomplished by a variable magnetic field by either rotating a conductive wire in between magnets, or rotating magnets around a conductive wire.

A magnet cannot by itself produce energy. Permanent magnetism is the result of the alignment of electron motion in the metal. Magnetism is also produced by the motion of electrons through a conductor--an electric current.

When a conductor, such as a wire, feels a changing magnetic field, electrons in the wire move, or at least pile up on one end of the conductor. The energy of the resulting electric current comes from the energy required to push the wire past the magnet, such as a turbine driven by steam or falling water.

In a transformer, the input coil produces a changing magnetic field using alternating current. The output coil "feels" the the changing magnetic field and produces output current. The energy comes ultimately from the original steam or water turbine.

Energy is never created or destroyed, only converted. So the question would be better posed as, "How do magnets convert energy?". We do this with magnetic induction. When a magnetic field passes over a conductive non-ferromagnetic metal, such as aluminum or copper, it induces an electrical current in the metal. Thus kinetic energy (of the forward momentum of the magnet) has been converted to electrical energy through the magnet field interacting with the conductive material via magnetic induction.

A moving magnet, or a time-varying magnetic field, around a wire can induce a current in the wire (Faraday's law).

How do you produce electricity from magnetism?

One way you can produce electricity is by using a U shaped magnet and pushing a metal string in the U shaped magnet!You use a galvanometer attached to the string and when you push it, it will become electrical energy! (A galvanometer measures electricity.)

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 a round magnet produce electricity if it's rotating?

The shape of the magnet is unimportant. Any moving magnet can induce a voltage in a wire. Or any changing magnetic field. If the magnet rotates, its magnetic field will change, so yes.

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.
