β€œDescribe the process of how a coil of wire moving through a magnetic field generates electrical energy. Include in your explanation the role of movement and the importance of creating a complete circuit. Explain how changing the strength of the magnetic field and the speed of the wire's movement can affect the amount of electrical energy generated by a generator. Provide specific details on how these factors contribute to the induced potential difference.”
