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 be used to create an electric current using the words magnetic field attract repel magnetic poles?

A magnet cannot use words to create an electric current. A moving magnet will induce electric current in adjacent conductors. This is usually described in terms of the rate that magnetic flux lines connecting the opposite poles of the magnet "cut" the conductors. The more flux lines cutting the conductors per second, the more current induced.


How can I produce electricity from magnets at home?

To produce electricity from magnets at home, you can create a simple generator using a coil of wire and a magnet. When the magnet moves past the coil, it induces an electric current. This can be used to power small devices or charge batteries.


How can I make a motor using magnets?

To make a motor using magnets, you can create a simple design with a coil of wire and a magnet. When an electric current flows through the coil, it creates a magnetic field that interacts with the magnet, causing the coil to rotate. This rotation can be used to create mechanical motion in a motor.


What is the main difference between an electromagnet and a solenoid?

An electromagnet is a type of magnet where the magnetic field is produced by an electric current, while a solenoid is a coil of wire used to create a magnetic field when an electric current is passed through it. In simpler terms, an electromagnet is a magnet that can be turned on and off using electricity, while a solenoid is a simple coil of wire used to create a magnetic field.


How can electricity be used to make a magnet?

Any time there is ANY flow of electric charges (any current), the current will be surrounded by a magnetic field.


How can a copper magnet be used to generate electricity?

A copper magnet can be used to generate electricity by moving it through a coil of wire. This movement creates a changing magnetic field, which induces an electric current in the wire according to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. The electric current produced can then be used as a source of electrical power.


Why is a magnet used in a speaker?

A magnet is used in a speaker to create a magnetic field that interacts with an electrical current, causing the speaker cone to vibrate and produce sound waves.


How can a coil wire and a magnet be used to make elctricity?

When a magnet is moved through the coil wire, it induces an electric current in the wire through electromagnetic induction. This current can be harnessed to generate electricity in devices like generators and alternators. The coil wire and magnet setup create a simple yet effective way to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy.


Is there a magnet in an electromagnet?

An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by the flow of electric current. The magnetic field disappears when the current ceases. Take a look at this Wikipedia page for more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnet


Is an electric bell a permanent magnet?

No, an electric bell typically contains an electromagnet rather than a permanent magnet. When current flows through the coil of wire in the bell, it generates a magnetic field that attracts an iron striker, causing the bell to ring.


Why does an electro magnet work?

Magnetizm and electricity are closly related. An electric current can produce its own magnetic field. Electricity can also be used to create a magnet. such magnets are called electromagnets. The electricity flowing through the tight coils of wire creates a strong magnetic fields from one end to the other. By running the electric current through a wire you can create a magnetic field. The force lines up all the magnetic particles in the nail and turns it into a magnet. The more coils of wire there are , the stronger the magnetic force.


What type of magnet can be controlled by adjusting the flow of electric current such as might be used in a scrap yard to pick up and then drop large pieces of metal?

An electro magnet.
