Back

A region around a magnet where magnetic forces can be detected.

Front

What is the principle of electromagnetic induction?

Back

The process of generating electric current from a changing magnetic field.

Front

What is a solenoid?

Back

A coil of wire that produces a magnetic field when an electric current passes through it.

Front

What is the right-hand rule in electromagnetism?

Back

A method to determine the direction of the magnetic field relative to the current direction.
