the word magnet wire serves two definitions. One is a thin type of wire coated in thin insulation. Another is a thin piece of magnetic iron wire that was once used the same way as a video/sound cassette. electromagnets were used to polarize sections of the wire. However both types of wire are conductive. (the enamel o the magnet wire must be stripped away, however)

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 a magnet be used to produce electricity?

A spinning magnet inside a coil of copper wire will produce electricity.


Do bar magnets use conductive wire and electricity to create a magnetic field?

Bar magnets are already magnetized. They don't need to add wire and electricity.


Why do you get electricity when a magnet touches a wire?

When a magnet moves near a wire, it creates a changing magnetic field. This changing magnetic field induces an electric current to flow in the wire through a process called electromagnetic induction, which is why electricity is generated when a magnet interacts with a wire.


How does a bicycle magnet work to generate electricity?

A bicycle magnet works to generate electricity by creating a magnetic field that interacts with coils of wire in a generator. As the magnet spins with the movement of the bicycle wheel, it induces a current in the wire coils, producing electricity.


How can electricity be produced using a magnet and wire coil?

Electricity can be produced by moving a magnet through a wire coil, which induces a current in the coil. This process is known as electromagnetic induction and is the basis for how generators work to produce electricity. The moving magnetic field created by the magnet interacting with the wire coil creates an electric current to flow in the wire.


What needs to happen to a magnet for the electricity to be produced?

For electricity to be produced from a magnet, the magnet needs to move relative to a coil of wire, causing a change in magnetic field. This movement induces an electric current in the wire, generating electricity through a process called electromagnetic induction.


How does a magnet create electricity?

A magnet can create electricity through electromagnetic induction. When a magnet moves near a conductor, such as a wire, it creates a changing magnetic field around the conductor. This changing magnetic field induces a current to flow in the wire, generating electricity.


What does copper wire and magnets have to do with Electricity?

a magnet moved through a copper coil makes 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 electricity be generated by turning a large magnet inside a wire coil?

Yes, electricity can be generated by moving a magnet inside a wire coil. This is known as electromagnetic induction, where the changing magnetic field induces an electric current in the wire coil.


What material will allow electricity to flow between the battery and the lightbulb?

Yes, copper wire is a conductive element and is the most addiquite substance for distribution of electricity known.
