Physicists as early as Michael Faraday (1791-1867) invented simple motors based on the principle that magnetic fields could be created, manipulated, and turned into mechanical motion. Without it, technology wouldn't exist. Although he didn't 'discover' it, he was the first to produce it.

Can a magnet be used to produce electricity?

A spinning magnet inside a coil of copper wire will produce electricity.


What can produce electricity to make a magnet?

Electricity can be produced by various methods such as generators, batteries, and solar panels, which can then be used to power a magnet.


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.


Can you genrate electricity by rotating the turbine with the power of a magnet?

Yes, you can generate electricity by rotating a turbine with the power of a magnet in a setup called a magnetic generator. As the magnet moves near a coil of wire within the generator, it induces an electric current through electromagnetic induction. This current can then be used to produce electricity.


What was used before electricity was discovered?

what was electricity used for when it was dicovered


Electricity can be used to move magnets which are then used to do work . What device uses electricity in this way?

An electric motor uses electricity to create a magnetic field which interacts with a permanent magnet to produce motion. This motion can be harnessed to do mechanical work in devices like fans, pumps, and vehicles.


What is an example of electricity and magnetism being used?

An electro-magnet.


What magnet is uses to produce electricity?

An electromagnet is commonly used to produce electricity. It consists of a coil of wire wrapped around an iron core. When an electric current flows through the coil, it creates a magnetic field that can induce an electric current in nearby wires or coils.


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 you can generate electricity by magnets?

Electricity can be generated by magnets through electromagnetic induction. When a magnet is moved near a coil of wire, it creates a changing magnetic field which induces an electric current in the wire. This principle is used in devices like generators to produce electricity.


What are two ways magnets can be used to produce electricity?

Magnets can be used in generators to produce electricity by rotating a coil of wire in a magnetic field, which induces an electric current in the wire. Magnets can also be used in electromagnetic induction, where moving a magnet near a conductor creates a changing magnetic field, inducing an electric current in the conductor.


Can solar energy be used for electricity?

Solar energy can be used to produce electricity.
