There's nothing magical or mysterious about a coil. When you think about it, it's just a

piece of wire that happends to be shaped a certain way. Just like any piece of wire in

any other shape, current flows through it when there is a potential difference between

its ends.

Why current flows in a coil when magnet is pushed in and out of the coil?

When a magnet is pushed in and out of a coil, it creates a changing magnetic field in the coil. This changing magnetic field induces an electromotive force (EMF) in the coil, which causes current to flow through the coil according to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. The amount of current flow is proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic field.


What must flow through the coil of wire to make the electromagnet work?

An electric current must flow through the coil of wire to make the electromagnet work. This current creates a magnetic field around the coil, inducing magnetism.


Is flow of induced current necessary when induces emf is being produced?

There is no such thing as an 'induced current'. Voltages are induced, not currents. If a voltage is self-induced into a coil, then that voltage will oppose any change in current. If a voltage is mutually-induced into a separate coil, no current will flow unless that coil is connected to a load.

Current flow through a coil of wire developes both a north and south pole at specific ends of the coil?

Yes, and when you reverse the current flow, the north and south pole switch ends.


What are the different ways to induce current in a coil?

Different ways to induce current in a coil are as given below:(1) If a magnetic field is changed round a coil then an induced current is set up in the coil. It can be done by taking a bar magnet and bringing it closer to the coil or taking it away from the coil.(2) If a coil is moved in a magnetic field, then again an induced current is set up in the coil.(3) If a coil is rotated in a uniform magnetic field, it may also cause an induced current in the coil.(4) If we take two coils and insert them over a non conducting cylindrical roll then on changing current flowing in one coil, an induced current is obtained in the other coil.CommentYou don't induce a 'current' into a coil; you induce a voltage. If that coil is open circuited, then no current will flow. If, on the other hand, the coil is connected to a load, or its opposite ends short-circuited, then the induced voltage will cause a current to flow. Remember, current will only flow if there is a load, or short circuit, and the value of the current will depend upon the value of the induced voltage and the resistance of the load or short circuit.


How an analog volt meter works?

The meter movement has a current flowing through a coil. That coil is on a magnet. The electromagnet with the needle moves according to the current flow. That flow is established by resistive ladders inside the meter.


How does electricity generate magnetism?

A flow of electric current creates a surrounding swath of magnetic flux. This flux will mingle with and surround the current flow. If the current is bent by say winding a wire in the form of a coil, the flux will shape itself around the coil. The strength of the flux will vary with the current. Reversing the current reverses the flux direction.


What are two ways to cause a current in a wire coil?

Different ways to induce current in a coil are as given below:(1) If a magnetic field is changed round a coil then an induced current is set up in the coil. It can be done by taking a bar magnet and bringing it closer to the coil or taking it away from the coil.(2) If a coil is moved in a magnetic field, then again an induced current is set up in the coil.(3) If a coil is rotated in a uniform magnetic field, it may also cause an induced current in the coil.(4) If we take two coils and insert them over a non conducting cylindrical roll then on changing current flowing in one coil, an induced current is obtained in the other coil.CommentYou don't induce a 'current' into a coil; you induce a voltage.

Should both sides of coil have electrical flow?

Yes, both sides of a coil typically have electrical flow. In a coil, current flows in one direction on one side of the coil and in the opposite direction on the other side, creating a magnetic field.
