The eddy currents act like a brake on the plate, slowing the rate of its movement; if the plate is able to freely swing and is swung through a magnet, it will basically stop dead on the first swing.

How a dynamo woks?

Dynamo has constant magnet inside.When movement comes up ,magnet starts turning .And outside of magnet has coiled wire .So this movement of magnet causes electromagnetic effect .Finally current consists with this electomagnetic effect.


What was a swinging magnet used for?

A swinging magnet was often used in old-fashioned compasses to indicate direction based on Earth's magnetic field. The magnet would align itself with the Earth's magnetic field, pointing towards the magnetic North Pole.


How does the strength of the magnet affect the current induced?

The strength of the magnet and its proximity effect the current produced. The magnetic flux density falls quickly so it is important to get close. The stronger the magnet the more lines of flux that pass a point as it moves. Or as something passes by it.


Which type of magnet is created from an electromagnet?

a temporary magnet can be created by an electromagnet but it can also be created by any type of strong magnet


When does a magnet induce an electric current in a wire coil?

A magnet induces an electric current in a wire coil when there is a relative motion between the magnet and the coil, which generates a changing magnetic field. This changing magnetic field induces an electromotive force, leading to the flow of an electric current in the wire coil.


What happens if a direct current is put through a coil suspended between the poles of a magnet?

The coil will align itself with the magnetic field (poles) of the magnet.


Where the potential energy the magnet gets in Meissner effect come from?

The Meissner effect is related to an electrical current. The energy comes from getting the current started. Any energy in a magnetic field adds to the effort of getting the current started: this is basically the same as the energy in an inductance.


Can a magnet stop an electric current?

A magnet cannot stop an electric current, but it can influence the flow of the current. Moving a magnet near a wire carrying an electric current can induce a voltage in the wire, which can affect the behavior of the current.


How can a magnet be used to create an electric current?

An electrical current will flow in a conductor, when a magnet is moved next to a conductor - or when the conductor is moved next to the magnet.


How can a magnet induce current in a wire?

When a magnet moves near a wire, it creates a changing magnetic field around the wire. This changing magnetic field induces an electric current to flow in the wire through electromagnetic induction. The current is only induced while there is a relative motion between the magnet and the wire, or if the magnetic field intensity changes.


What is the difference between magnet and magnetic and magnatism?

A magnet is an object that is magnetic if it displays magnetic properties. Think of it like this; If bar magnet attracts a piece of metal towards it, it is using magnetism (fluxuations in electric current) and therefore the magnet can be said to have magnetic properties.


How can you use a magnet to induce a current?

You can induce a current in a wire by moving the magnet in and out of the coil or by moving the coil near the magnet. The changing magnetic field created by the moving magnet induces a current in the wire according to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction.
