Question

Which configuration would produce an electric current?

a. Rotate a coil of copper wire between two magnets.
b. Connect a wire between a copper and zinc strip sitting in a beaker of water.
c. Connect a wire to the (+) positive end of a battery and the other end to a light bulb.
d. Connect a wire to the (-) negative end of a battery and the other end to a light bulb.

Answer 1

In conclusion, the answer is A.

Answer 2

The configuration that would most likely produce an electric current would be rotating a coil of copper between two magnets. The phenomenon that takes place in the experimental set-up is called electromagnetic induction, wherein the current is induced due to a consistent rotating magnetic field.
