This is the process of creating current in a circuit by changing magnetic field.
What is electromagnetic induction?
200

This is the direction magnetic field lines point

What is North to South?

200
This is the equation for Force

What is F = ma?

200

This states that energy cannot be created or destroyed

What is the conservation of energy ?

300

This is made of turns of wire and is rectangular so its sides are perpendicular to the magnetic field.

500

This is the direction of electron flow in a circuit

From negative to positive

500
This is the equation for Impulse

What is Force * Time ? (Also accept change in momentum, or mass * change in velocity)

500

This is the equation for efficiency
