Big Idea: Moving a metal rod through a magnetic field can create a potential difference, aka voltage. It's a bit like magic but with physics!
Figure 4(a):
Because these electrons (treated like currents) are moving in a magnetic field, a force acts on them. (Ahem! Recall Topic D.2 for this).
The direction of this force can be determined using something super cool: Fleming’s left-hand rule! 🤚
