==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
The '''generator effect''' is the [[Electrical Current|current]] induced in a [[wire]] when it is in the region of a changing [[Magnetic Field|magnetic field]].

===About The Generator Effect===
: When a [[wire]] is moved through a [[Magnetic Field|magnetic field]] at [[Right Angle|right angles]] to the [[Magnetic Field|field lines]] it causes a [[Potential Difference|potential difference]] across the [[wire]]. If that [[wire]] is part of a [[circuit]] this will induce a [[Electrical Current|current]].
: The '''generator effect''' takes place whenever a [[wire]] is in a changing [[Magnetic Field|magnetic field]]. This change can be due to the relative motion of the [[wire]] and [[magnet]] or by the [[Magnetic Field|magnetic field]] changing over time.
: The '''generator effect''' is used in [[Power Station|power stations]] to generate [[electricity]].
