A coil of wire, or solenoid, consists of a wire coiled up into a spiral shape. When an electric current flows, the shape of the magnetic field is very similar to the field of a bar magnet.

The simplest generator consists of just a coil of wire and a bar magnet ... as this helped to concentrate the magnetic field.
