What happens to a magnet when copper rubs aganist it?

It might leave a copper coloured streak across the magnet, but apart from that, nothing much. I think you are looking at what happens to a copper wire when it is moved in a magnetic field. In which case the answer is, a current is induced in the wire. (It does not have to touch)


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.


When a magnet is moved through a coil of wire an electric current is generated in the coil because?

the magnetic field affecting the wire changes as the magnet moves.


What would be produced if you moved a bar magnet in and out of the wire coil?

An alternating current.


What is generated when a permanent magnet is moved in front of a coiled wire and the magnet's magnetic field pushes and pulls electrons in the coiled wire?

an AC, or alternating current


What happens to copper wire because of the moving magnet?

The copper wire carries an electric current.


A horseshoe magnet is moved back and forth across a piece of copper wire an electric current is detectable in the wire?

yes, it will be very small but the inductance from the magnet should stimulate a current in the wire as it will cause electrons to move.


True or false when a magnet is moved electricity is formed?

1/2 true, when moved though a wire coil electricity is formed.


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

a magnet moved through a copper coil makes electricity
