"Magnets can introduce electric currents, and electric currents can cause magnetic lines of force. Based on this statement, there is obviously a close relationship between electricity and magnetism. Electric current flowing in a wire creates a magnetic field around it. This magnetic force is evidence of the phenomena known as electromagnetism." 3-02 Generator - Build an Electric Generator (Beaty) Describes how to build an electric generator. 1-02 Motor - 1.
