What is induction?

Back

Induction is the transfer of electric charge without direct contact, often through a nearby charged object.

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is the force that resists the sliding or rolling of one surface over another, often caused by rubbing two objects together.

Front

What is conduction?

Back

Conduction is the transfer of heat or electricity through direct contact between materials, allowing electrons to flow.

Front

What is an electromagnet?

Back

An electromagnet is a type of magnet created by an electric current flowing through a coil of wire, producing a magnetic field.

Front

What is electric energy?

Back

Electric energy is the energy that comes from electric charges and is used to power devices and machines.

Front

What is electromagnetic induction?

Back

Electromagnetic induction is the process of generating an electric current by moving a magnet near a wire.

Front

What are magnetic fields?

Back

Magnetic fields are areas around a magnet where magnetic forces can be detected, influencing other magnets and charged particles.

Front

What are magnetic domains?

Back

Magnetic domains are small regions within a material where the magnetic fields of atoms are aligned in the same direction.

Front

What is a generator?

Back

A generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy using electromagnetic induction.

Front

What is a motor?

Back

A motor is a machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, often using electromagnets.
