The basic principle behind dynamic microphones is the concept of electromagnetic induction. Moving a magnet near a coil of wire generates an electrical current. Dynamic microphones utilize this principle to convert sound into electrical data. A diaphragm is connected to a coil of thin wire, which is positioned within the magnetic field of the magnet. As sound waves cause the diaphragm to vibrate, the coil moves back and forth within the magnetic field.
