In Question #36, we saw how we can supply energy to a capacitor using a magnetoelectric generator, then let the energy in the capacitor run the generator. This week we replace the capacitor by an inductor, as seen in the photograph below.
For this question we crank the generator, creating current in the inductor, then release the handle of the generator. What will the handle do - in particular, will it move, and if so in which direction?
