(1) I previously learned that a constant magnetic field causes a force on any electrons within its range. Clearly, this force would cause electrons to move. Isn't this creating a current?
(2) However, now apparently I am told that the only varying magnetic fields can create a current. I.e., turning a magnetic field on and off.
I am confused about this. Doesn't the first statement imply that a constant magnetic field can create a current?
