If a magnet is pushed into a coil, voltage is induced across the coil. If the same magnet is pushed into a coil with twice the number of loops,

• one-half as much voltage is induced.

• the same voltage is induced.

• twice as much voltage is induced.

• four times as much voltage is induced.

Can you produce current in a wire with a magnet that is sitting still?

• Yes; having a magnet near a wire is enough to excite the electrons

• No; the magnetic field has to be changing to excite the electrons

• No; magnets cannot create electricity
