Resources and methods for learning about these subjects (list a few here, in preparation for your research): 1 Questions Question 1 If an electric current is passed through this wire, which direction will the wire be pushed (by the interaction of the magnetic ?elds)? wire NMagnet S NMagnet S - + Is this an example of an electric motor or an electric generator? ?le 00382 2 Question 2 If this wire (between the magnet poles) is moved in an upward direction, what polarity of voltage will the meter indicate? motion wire NMagnet S NMagnet S V ? A COM Describe the factors in?uencing the magnitude of the voltage induced by motion, and determine whether this is an example of an electric motor or an electric generator. ?le 00806 3 Question 3 If this wire (between the magnet poles) is moved in an upward direction, and the wire ends are connected to a resistive load, which way will current go through the wire? motion
