Experiments have shown that a magnetic just sitting next to a wire produced no current flow through that wire. However, if the magnet is then a current is induced the wire. The the magnet moves, the the induced current.

Determine the time it takes for a satellite to orbit the earth in a circular "near-earth" orbit. the definition of "near-earth" orbit is one which is at a height above the surface of the earth which is small compared to the radius of the earth, so that you may take the acceleration due to gravity as essentially the same as that on the surface. does your result depend on the mass of the satellite?
