electromagnetism please help

[befuzzled!!]

i'm doing gcse physics
my homework is an electromagnetism crossword and i'm stuck!!!!
the clue is
this describes what happens when a conductor cuts a magnetic field.

g_ _ e_ _ _ _ _e_ _e_ _

please help nothing seems to fit

If the third e were a u . . .

g e n e r a t e c u r r e n t

[mibn2cweus]

. . . that's the second e, innit?

If you want to impress your teacher tell him or her that it is a poor question ...

1) For a current to flow in the conductor it must experience a changing magnetic field ... by moving, or the magnetic field's source moving, or the magnetic field's strength changing. Simply cutting it is not enough.

2) "Generate current" is poor English ... "a current is generated in the conductor", "a current is induced in the conductor", or "a current flows in the conductor" are all improvements.

strictly speaking, a current is not induced, but an emf - a voltage, if you like. If there is a conductor, the current will flow in it, as a result of the emf.

eee the joys of collage and the left hand rule etc -NOT
nightmare is correct an emf is induced
though it is referred to as induced current too
don't know what answer your teachers looking for though as nothing seems to fit

tut -all of you!!
