Yes, but only if the magnet or the wire are kept moving.

When a strong magnet is passed rapidly through a coil of wire what is true?
The magnetic field lines (the lines of force) around the magnet sweep the windings in the coil. This induces a voltage in the windings (through induction), and the voltage will try to drive current if it can. There is a bit more to this, but the essential elements are that the magentic lines of force cause voltage in the coil because there is relative motion between the field and the coil.
Does adding electric currents to something that is already magnetized increase or decrease the power of the magnet?
By 'adding electric currents', you are presumably talking about passing a d.c. current through a coil wound around a magnet?First of all, you cannot increase the flux density of a magnet beyond saturation, regardless of the current or number of turns that make up the coil. Whether on not you increase or reduce the flux density depends on the polarity of the coil compared with the polarity of the magnet; if they are opposite then, yes, you can demagnetise the magnet and, in fact, remagnetise it in the opposite direction.
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.
Can you let rotate magnets by themselves to generate electricity?
A magnet rotating inside a coil of wire will induce a current in the wire. Disassemble a bicycle generator and that is what you will find inside, a magnet attached to the input axle surrounded by a coil. The current generated will be alternating current because the magnetic field reverses every 1/2 rotation. Frequency will depend on the speed of the input axle, which is of course dependent on the speed of the bicycle itself.
Is there a pulsating current dc transformer?
Yes, an example is an automobile's ignition coil, which is energised from the battery, via the contacts within the distributor. The contacts open and close, supplying the ignition coil with pulsating current.
What is the purpose of the permanent magnet in the moving coil meter?
The purpose of the permanent magnet in the moving coil meter is to measure electrical current. The coil will have a magnetic field which will react to the magnetic field of the permanent magnet. Since opposite poles attract, it will cause for the coil to move.Ê
What happens when a magnet is moved towards a coil?
You will generate electricity. As the wire cuts through the magnetic field.As the magnet is moved, there will be an induced electro-motive force (EMF) which can cause a current in the coil. Once the magnet stops moving, the current will go to zero.
Can a magnet cause an electric current to flow through a wire?
You obviously cannot more a magnet through a coil in the direction of the current, because the magnet must move, axially, along the length of the coil, while the current moves radially, around the coil. However, if you move a conductor within a coil carrying a d.c. current, then the magnet will induce a voltage into that coil which will oppose the voltage applied to the coil.
In which case will electric current be induced in a coil of wire?
The coil must experience a changing magnetic field in order to have a current induced. You can rotate the coil between the poles of a magnet, or rotate the magnet around the coil.
What is a magnet created when electric current flows through a coil of wire?
A magnet created when electric current flows through a coil of wire is called an electromagnet.
How can the magnetism of a permanent magnet be weakened or removed?
Put it in a coil which has an alternating current in it. The AC current produces a magnetic field in the coil which alternates with the changing voltage. This changes the magnetism of the permanent magnet. Gradually reduce the current in the coil and the permanent magnet will end up unmagnetised.
How does the voice coil interacts with the magnet on the very bottom of the speaker?
The magnet is permanent, and the voice coil magnetism alternates with the current, pushing the cone outward against the magnet or pulling it inward towards the magnet as the current changes direction.
Is a solenoid a coil of wire that has a current?
YESA solenoid is a coil of wire, which turns into a magnet when a?current?flows through
What happen in coil of wire when you pass a magnet through it?
A current would be induced in the coil.
Is not a permanent magnet?
An electromagnet is a magnet while an electric current is running through the coil. Turn off the current and it is no longer magnetised, and is, therefore, not a permanent magnet.
Does the power of a magnet increase if it is rapped in a coil of wire and you add current to the coil?
Find out yourself.
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. 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.
