Question
When an electric current is passed through a wire or a coil, a magnetic field is produced. Is the reverse phenomenon possible i.e, can a magnetic field produce an electric current? Explain with the help of an appropriate example.

Solution
Yes, the reserve phenomenon is possible.
Example: A changing magnetic field in one conductor causes induced current in another. This is sometimes referred to as electromagnetic induction.
