electricity.
In this lesson, we're going to take
a closer look at how magnets

create electricity by building
electromagnets, galvanometers,
motors, relays, telegraphs, and
speakers. Are you ready?

You can get started by watching
this video, and afterward either
read more about it or start your

experiments!

Highlights:

· Magnetism is caused by
moving electrons.

· Electricity is moving

electrons.
· Electricity causes magnetism.

· Moving magnetic fields can
cause electrons to move.
