What is the process of generating current in a conductor by placing the conductor in a changing magnetic field called?
Induction
Why is the process of generating current in a conductor by placing the conductor in a changing magnetic field called induction?
Because there is no physical connection between the conductor and the magnet
What is one requirement for electromagnetic induction to take place?
The conductor must be perpendicular to the magnetic lines of force
How is the direction that the induced current flows determined?
By the direction of the lines of force and the direction of movement of the wire
What instrument is used to measure current in the animation above?
Ammeter
What is the process called when current is produced in a conductor by placing it in a changing magnetic field?
Induction
Why is the conductor required to be perpendicular to the magnetic lines of force during electromagnetic induction?
To produce the maximum force on the free electrons
What determines the direction that the induced current flows during electromagnetic induction?
The direction of the lines of force and the direction the wire is moving
What is the instrument used to measure current in the animation above?
Ammeter
What causes current to be induced in a conductor during electromagnetic induction?
Movement of free electrons due to force from magnetic lines of force
Which type of current is generated in a conductor during electromagnetic induction?
AC (Alternating Current)
