What can electricity be created by?
An electric current can be created by moving a magnet through a metal coil.
How is an electromagnet like a permanent magnet?
No an electromagNet is created via electricity, once the electricity stops so does the magnet it can be created using a current in a wire tightly wrapped around a iron or metal rod
How does moving water produces electricity?
Hydroelectric power is created as water turns a rod with flaps on it. The rods end is mad of a magnet that turns against the pull of another magnet generating electricity.
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.
Why is a magnet useful in generating electricity?
As Faraday discovered, turning a magnet in a coil of wire generates electricity. This is how even today electricity is created, but we use water to turn the magnets in hydroelectricity and so on. It is useful because it is very efficient and it has a mechanical advantage: the force needed to turn the magnet is lss than the force generated by the magnet turning. So basically, to sum it up, the only way to generate electricity is wih a magnet and a solenoid (coil)
Does a magnet just the word magnet conduct electricity?
no it does not.
Can a magnet be used to produce electricity?
A spinning magnet inside a coil of copper wire will produce electricity.
What does the electro magnet prove about electricity?
An electro magnet proves that Electricity and Magnetism always co-exist in nature
Can connecting a specific amount of magnet to one of your electric wires reduce the electricity usage?
No. Your magnet will fight the electricity.
How are eltromagnets used in generators?
Any time a magnet passes through a coil of copper wire (the electro magnet) it produces electricity. In all reallity, you don't really have an electro magnet in a generator. Since the Coil or(field) is making the electricity instead of using electricity, the electro magnet isn't really a magnet; but more like an "anti-magnet" :)
How is dynamic electricity created?
dynamic electricity is mostly used in cycles to light bulbs. when a cog wheel turns it turns a cylinder around a magnet inside it, electricity is formed automatically when the wheel turns
How does a magnet produce electricity?
It is weird
