Question

What type of device produces electricity by moving a wire made of conducting material through a magnetic field?

Answer 1

It would be Generator. Hope i helped. 

Answer 2

Answer:

generator

Explanation:

A generator works on the principle of Faraday's law of induction. When a conducting wire is run into a magnetic field i.e. when there is changing magnetic flux around the wire, an emf is induced in the wire which produces current.

Induced emf:

$e=-\frac{d\phi}{dt}=-\frac{dBA}{dt}$

A generator produces by moving wire made of conducting material through a magnetic field.
