The important discovery of how to produce electricity from movement was made by Michael Faraday.
He moved a wire, which was connected to a meter, through a magnetic field. The current created, known as the induced current, is only produced when the wire is moving. The wire must also be moving in the right direction which is cutting across the field lines.
The current is very small but can be increased by moving the wire more quickly and using a stronger field.
