What is induced current?

Solution

This suggests that electricity and magnetism are actually one thing. When Hans Christian Ørsted was about to begin a lecture he set up an experiment that gave him some unexpected results. When he was setting up the experiment, he noticed that a compass needle was deviating off north towards a current in wires he used for the experiment. With this discovery came electromagnetism. They found that current induced magnetism and magnets induced current. So induced current is when a magnet is going through the middle of a coiled wire and a current is induced. This is actually how all power is made.
