: 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]].
: The direction of the [[Electrical Current|current]] induced is shown by the 'right hand generator rule'.: The '''generator effect''' is used in [[alternator]]s and [[dynamo]]s.
