What produces electricity by spinning a magnet in a coil of wire?

A generator or alternator.
If the magnetic field is permanent, the current produced from the coil will be alternating current. AC.
Alternators usually work the other way round. The magnet is spun inside a coil of wire. The power is taken off from the stator.
The rotor is an electromagnet, fed via slip rings on the shaft. The strength of the magnet can be varied and controlled externally, to control the output voltage.

∙ 9y agoA current is induced in the conductor by the moving magnetic field (relative to the wire, the field is moving) I guess induction might be the term you are looking for.
Another Answer
Moving a magnet through a loop of wire will induce a voltage, not a current, into a coil. If the coil forms a closed loop, then a current will result. But it's a voltage that's being induced, not a current -the current is merely the result of that voltage.

What is generator brief explain?
A generator is tool that converts kinetic energy into electricity, through the use of magnets which is surrounded by magnetic fields. As a magnet starts turning its magnetic fields collide with a coil that surrounds the magnet. Which induces current, which is electricity.
How does the diameter of wire coil affect the amount of electricity?
The diameter of the coil affects the amount of electricity as longer the coil longer the electricity.
What is a non permanent magnet?
An electromagnet (a coil around a soft iron core) will only be magnetic when current changes in the coil and so is not permanent.
Can a permanent magnet be turned off and on?
Electromagnet. it is a piece of metal (usually iron) that is wrapped in copper wire. it is turned on by putting electricity through the copper wire. it then producces a magnetic field when electricity is run through it.
How are the temporary magnet and the permanent magnet the same?
Both are magnetic.
Can a magnet be used to produce electricity?
A spinning magnet inside a coil of copper wire will produce 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 do wind farms provide energy?
the spinning blades are attached to a magnet which spins inside a coil of wires (a generator) which creates electricity
What has magnet got to do with musical equipment?
It is the medium by which a voice coil reacts to or is stimulated by. Reacts: As in a speaker the power sent to the coil creates an attraction creating movement of the cone that produces sound. stimulated : As in a microphone the voice coil is vibrated around a magnet which produces electricity that is amplified to be heard.
What produces electricity by using a coil of wire and a magnet or steel which produces a magnetic field when electricity flows through the wire?
An electro-magnet is th aswer. Hey STOP CHEATING ON YOUR HOMEWORK AND CHECK OUT MY YOUTUBE! it is ....... http://www.youtube.com/nickjonasfan910
How is electricity made inside the generator?
electricity in a generator is made by spinning a magnet inside a coil the flux lines of the magnet will cut through the coil and create a current. you can turn the magnet in numerous ways, by using wind mills, water mills, or heating water with coal, oil, gas or nuclear energy, and let the steam rush into a turbine which then moves the magnet.
How is electricity generated using coal and wind?
An electricity generator is basically a magnet spinning inside a stationery coil of copper wire. This produces electricity.Anything that can spin the magnet will work. So wind blowing on the blades of a windmill will turn it, and this produces electricity.Using coal, the coal is burnt and turns water into steam. This steam turns the propellor, which rotates the magnet, and electricity is produced.There are big differences between the two ways of generation.Coal is non renewable, dirty and costly. We have to dig it out of the ground, and mining and then burning it produces a lot of pollution, not least of which is carbon dioxide, which is causing global warming.Wind, on the other hand, is renewable, clean and free!
What is the most electricity you can make with a magnet coil?
A coil doesn't make electricity it can however alter voltage and amperage output.
What can produced electricity?
Well, Many things can produce electricity. An easy way to produce electricity is to get a coil and pass a bar magnet through it.
What does copper wire and magnets have to do with Electricity?
a magnet moved through a copper coil makes electricity
What houses magnets and a spinning coil of copper?
An electric motor. In a motor the coil spins within the magenetic field producing mechanical energy. In a generator the magnet spins within a coil to produce electricity. in either case the magnets can be either solid fixed magents or electromagnetic coils.
What does a magnet do in a lawnmower?
the magnet on the spinning flywheel of a lawnmower creates a spark every time ot passes by the coil. this spark is what ignites the fuel
