An English scientist who was first to prove that a magnet can produce current.

A magnet can produce

electricity!

Duh!

What conditions are necessary for a magnet to produce current?

Magnet must be moving or

Wire must be moving

Movement causes changing magnetic field

Changing magnetic field induces current

For many coils EMF = BAN/t

For a wire EMF = Blx/t

Where l is length of wire and x is distance traveled.

A coil of wire having 2500 turns and of area 1 cm2 is placed between the poles of a magnet so that the magnetic flux passes perpendicularly through the coil. The flux density of the field is 0.5 T. The coil is pulled rapidly out of the field in a time of 0.1 s. What average emf is induced across the ends of the coil?
