| There are two types of electric current - direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC). An electric current can be produced by moving a magnet inside a coil of wire. The size of this induced current can be increased by moving the magnet faster, by using a stronger magnet, or by increasing the number of turns on the coil and increasing its area. A dynamo is one type of electricity generator. DC and AC [ This page has been adapted from www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/science
