What is the phenomenon called when a conductor moves through a magnetic field and generates an electric current?
Correct Answer: Electromagnetic induction
- Step 1: Understand what a conductor is. A conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow through it, like copper wire.
- Step 2: Learn about magnetic fields. A magnetic field is an area around a magnet where magnetic forces can be felt.
- Step 3: Know that when a conductor moves through a magnetic field, something interesting happens.
- Step 4: This movement causes the magnetic field to change around the conductor.
- Step 5: When the magnetic field changes, it creates an electric current in the conductor.
- Step 6: This process of generating electric current from a changing magnetic field is called electromagnetic induction.
