Hi friends,
I could not come to the forum for quite some time but watching it. Now I have a basic question.
We know that when a conductor moves across a magnetic field, an e.m.f will induced in the conductor according to the theory of electricity.
We also know that the Earth will act as a huge permanent magnet and if we moves a conductor or coil of conductors across the Earth's magnetic field, theoretically the same thing should happen. If that is so, can this induced electricity be used for some practical purposes? Perhaps may be for powering satellites if the satellite is being put in the orbit perpendicular to the Earth's magnetic field?
