What happens to an electric current produced from an electromagnet when the direction of the magnetic field changes?

Answer;

C. The direction of the electric current changes.

Explanation;

An electromagnet is a magnet that runs on electricity. Unlike a permanent magnet, the strength of an electromagnet can easily be changed by changing the amount of electric current that flows through it. The poles of an electromagnet can even be reversed by reversing the flow of electricity.

An electromagnet works because an electric current produces a magnetic field. The magnetic field produced by an electric current forms circles around the electric current

An electromagnet is and electric magnetic field present to a coil of copper around it that attracts metal and other electricity. Based in your question about the changing of the direction of the current, I think the amount of electromagnetic field doesnt change but the polarity does.
