An electric current is produced by which of the following processes? A. electrical resistance B. transfer of protons C. convection currents D. Electromagnetic induction

OpenStudy (theeric):

Do you have any guesses?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C or D?

OpenStudy (theeric):

I agree! Have you ever learned about convection currents as applied to electronics? Or do you know off-hand if electromagnetic induction produces a current?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know nothing about this stuff! DO you know what one it is?

OpenStudy (theeric):

Be right back!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (theeric):

Electromagnetic induction will create a potential difference by changing the magnetic field strength through a circuit.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is it D?

OpenStudy (theeric):

Yup! I never learned about C. But, based on quick research, I don't think it's applicable. D will produce a current in a closed loop. It's how generators work!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks Eric! haha

OpenStudy (theeric):

You're welcome! :) I don't know how you know my name...

OpenStudy (theeric):

:P
