Electromagnetic (EM) induction

PD induced when conductor moves across field or field changes around conductor

Alternative name for electromagnetic induction

Generator effect

How EM induction relates to motor effect

Opposite - generates electricity from motion

What EM induction requires between conductor & field

Relative movement

Moving magnet back & forth through coil creates what?

Alternating current (AC)

What does induced current's magnetic field do?

Opposes the change

Condition for current to be induced in conductor

Conductor must be part of complete circuit

How to reverse induced PD direction (method 1)

Reverse conductor's movement/direction

How to reverse induced PD direction (method 2)

Change direction of magnetic field

How to increase induced PD (method 1)

Increase speed of relative motion

How to increase induced PD (method 2)

Add more turns to the coil

How to increase induced PD (method 3)

Increase strength of magnetic field
