Question

A generator produces an electric current by having a coil of wire move through a magnetic field. true or false

Answer 1

true

Answer 2

or vice versa

Answer 3

yea true mostly this wire is of copper.
free electrons start moving when kept in magnetic field :P then the current is produced.

Answer 4

Remember there has to be relative motion. Placing a copper wire in a steady magnetic field only produces current when it is moving with respect to the field. A steady state magnetic field around a stationary copper wire does not create current flow, it it did then we would have a source of electrical energy from a generator without any rotation or mechanical energy expended.
