An outside source of energy is used to spin a permanent magnet. The magnetic field of the spinning magnet causes electrons to move in a coil of wire. This produces an alternating current in the wire.What device best fits the description above?

Respuesta :

An electric generator

An electric generator works in reverse of an electric motor.

Explanation:

In an electric generator the permanent magnet is span by a small piston engine powered by fuel. Which is why we put petrol/diesel in an electric generator. The crankshaft of the engine spins a permanent magnet surrounded by a coil of wires with many wounds. An electric current is induced in the coil of wire by dynamo effect - the more the wounds of the coil, the bigger the induced current This also observes the Fleming's rule of the thumb (right hand in this case) on electric induction.
