the generator effect

• what is the generator effect

  if a wire is moved through the magnetic field a potential difference is induced across the ends of the wire. if the conductor is part of a complete circuit, a current is induced in the conductor
• what are the factors that affect the size of the induced pd/ current

  • using a stronger magnetic field
  • speed of movement of magnet
  • number of turns on the coil
• what are the factors that affect the direction of the induced pd/current

  • reversing the wire/coil direction
  • reversing the magnet
