I assume you mean in a setup similar to an electrical generator. Here, current is ONLY produced if there is relative movement, between the magnet and coil. Without movement, there will be no current.

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

the moving magnet creates a changing magnetic field around the coil of wire. This changing magnetic field induces an electric current in the wire according to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction.


Can a magnet cause an electric current to flow through a wire?

You obviously cannot more a magnet through a coil in the direction of the current, because the magnet must move, axially, along the length of the coil, while the current moves radially, around the coil. However, if you move a conductor within a coil carrying a d.c. current, then the magnet will induce a voltage into that coil which will oppose the voltage applied to the coil.


What happens when a bar magnet is thrust into a coil?

When a bar magnet is thrust into a coil, the magnetic field of the magnet will "sweep" across the wire in the coil and induce a voltage in that coil. This is called induction, and if the coil is connected to an external circuit, there will be current flow in that circuit.


How does a magnet work in a speaker?

From what i have been learnt, the magnet is connected to the diaphragm (the material which covers it) of the speaker and as electric current is passed in this causes the magnet to 'Push' and 'Pull' on the diaphragm making this move resulting in sound waves being produced, these sound waves then enter your ear making you hear the noise. So the magnet helps produce the sound you hear from a speaker.


How much voltage would be produced by 600 turns of copper and a neodymium magnet?

The voltage produced by a generator depends on various factors such as the strength of the magnetic field, the speed at which the magnet and coil rotate, and the number of turns in the coil. Without additional information such as the speed of rotation, it is challenging to provide an exact voltage value.

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.


Moving a magnet in and out of a coil of wire produces an?

electric current in the coil of wire.


Generating and inducing an electric current can be done through?

a moving coil and moving magnet


What happen in coil of wire when you pass a magnet through it?

A current would be induced in the coil.


What is the purpose of the permanent magnet in the moving coil meter?

The purpose of the permanent magnet in the moving coil meter is to measure electrical current. The coil will have a magnetic field which will react to the magnetic field of the permanent magnet. Since opposite poles attract, it will cause for the coil to move.Ê


How do you produce electricity using a magnet and a wire coil?

By moving a magnet through a wire coil, an electric current is induced in the wire due to electromagnetic induction. This current is generated as a result of the changing magnetic field produced by the moving magnet cutting across the wire coil. This process converts mechanical energy (movement of the magnet) into electrical energy (current in the wire).


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.


Moving a magnet quickly in and out of a coil of wire produces what?

Moving a magnet quickly in and out of a coil of wire induces an electric current in the wire due to electromagnetic induction. The changing magnetic field created by the moving magnet induces a current flow in the wire loop according to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction.


What can electricity be created by?

An electric current can be created by moving a magnet through a metal coil.


Will Dragging a magnet through a wire coil will create electricity?

Yes. That peculiar action weill create a current in the coil for as long as you keep the magnet moving.


If a magnet is held close to a coil of wire will it cause current to flow?

Yes, but only if the magnet or the wire are kept moving.


What will happen if a bar magnet is moved through a coil of wire?

Moving a bar magnet through a coil of wire induces an electromotive force (EMF) in the coil. This phenomenon is known as electromagnetic induction, according to Faraday's law. The induced current in the wire will produce a magnetic field that opposes the motion of the magnet, following Lenz's law.
