Generation Summary

GCSE Physics

Move a magnet into a coil of wire attached to an ammeter and current will be produced (for an instant).

GCSE Physics

Stop moving the magnet and the current reduces to zero.

GCSE Physics

Withdraw the magnet and a current flows - this time it is the other way.

GCSE Physics

Push the coil over the magnet and a current is produced.

GCSE Physics

Stop the movement and there will be no current.

GCSE Physics

Pull the coil back off the magnet and current flows the other way.

GCSE Physics

A posh physics term for the current produced is "induced current".
