What is Rpm: Definition and 248 Discussions

Let's say I have a magnet inside a coil of wire. If I spin the magnet for a 10 second period, twice, the second time spinning it significantly faster, will more current be induced during the second period? And would this apply to generators in wind turbines, etc.? Thanks.
