There are two ways of doing this;

1) moving a magnet perpendicular(at right angles) to a coil of wire

2) placing a coil of wire in close proximity to another coil carrying an AC current.

You don't induce a 'current' into a conductor; you induce a voltage.

Getting back to the question, the two ways of inducing a voltage are (1) relative movement between a conductor and a magnetic field; (2) a change in the value of current flowing through a conductor.

Yes.

When there is a current induced, there will always be some voltage however small this voltage might be.

We can have high voltage and small current. We can have low voltage and large current.

Both are however always present. If it is possible to measure one, then it should be possible to also measure the other.

Answer

No. For the simple reason that you do not induce a 'current' into a conductor! You induce a voltage. Any resulting current is determined by the values of the induced voltage and the resistance of any load connected to that conductor. If the conductor is open circuited, you still have an induced voltage, but no current will flow.

Most components will obey Ohm's Law: Voltage = (current) x (resistance). Rearranging to get Current = (Voltage) / (resistance), so if you increase the voltage, then current increases. Also decreasing the resistance at a constant voltage, more current will flow.

An induced current can change direction, but only if it is an AC, or alternating current. A DC, or direct current, never changes direction. It only ever travels in a straight line.

Take a look at Ohm's Law. Solving for electric current: I = V/R. So, you can either increase the voltage, or reduce the resistance (or equivalent resistance).

A magnetic field can induce an electrical current in a wire.


Where do electric generators direct the current they induce?

An electric generator generates the current by moving a coil of wire through a magnetic field. This is normally in the inner mechanisms of the device.


Can you make electicity from a magnet?

Yes, magnets are spun rapidly inside coils of wire to induce an electric current within the wire, this is the basic principal of an electricity generator.


What is a magnetic created when electric current flows through a coil of wire?

Nothing is ever created, however, Electricity is INDUCED. The process is interchangeable, so if you pass a current through the wire you have a magnetic field (electromagnetism)lol.-originalposter- When you pass a magnet through a coil of wire, you induce an electric current. Also, if you move the coil instead you get the same result.-norman

Electric current in a metal conductor is carried by a wire. This wire has been specifically adapted to carry this current.


How does electromagnetic induction produce induced current?

Before you can understand how electrical energy is supplied by your electric company, you need to know how it is produced. A magnet and a conductor, such as a wire, can be used to induce a current in the conductor. The key is motion. An electric current is induced in a conductor when the conductor moves through a magnetic field. Generating an electric current from the motion of a conductor through a magnetic field is called electromagnetic induction. Current that is generated in this way is called induced current. To induce a current in a conductor, either the conductor can move through the magnetic field or the magnet itself can move.


Why electric current across a wire drops?

Electric current does not drop. Electric voltage, however, drops across a wire because the wire has non-zero resistance. (Do not confuse electric current with electric voltage - they are not the same.)The reason current does not drop is that, in a series circuit, according to Kirchoff's current law, the current at every point in a series circuit is the same.
