"Such a simple thing. August would understand it. My mother could understand it. Magnet back and forth, make electricity. Magnet and coil move, make electricity. Magnet and coil sit there, nothing gets made." - Grantville Gazette vol 7

Having just finished up Faraday's Law for the semester, I'd like to say...SUUUUUUURE. It sounds simple, but you'd be surprised how simple it ISN'T. :)

Actually, it's not even simple. There's ways to make electricity without moving either (change area, change number of loops, pass something between them that blocks magnetic fields). :)

Mind you, the goal of physics is to be simple...once you understand it. Complicated already exists, it's all around us.
