Generators

Warm-up 1Which of the following coils do you think is harder to be turned in a magnetic field? A. B. No difference.
4
Warm-up 2So, when we generate current by cutting magnetic field lines, electrical energy is produced from nothing. electrical energy comes from the internal energy of the wire. electrical energy is converted from the work done in moving the wire.
