The interactive animation illustrates the principle of electromagnetic induction using the example of a rotating magnet.
Click your mouse to zoom the rectangle in or out.
The animation shows how an electric voltage is induced by rotary motion.
A rod magnet rotates in the interior of the conductor loop shown. Inside the conductor loop the electrons are symbolized by blue dads.
The electrons move through the conductor loop. The orientation and strength of the magnetic field depends on how many electrons are deflected. You have the highest voltage when the field lines of the magnetic field move precisely at a right angle through the conductor loop.
