This seems like a question from an electrical course, and is probably best answered by your course materials. It's your test question, not ours, and there won't always be someone to ask the answer of. Earn your diploma.

How can a magnet be used to create an electric current?
An electrical current will flow in a conductor, when a magnet is moved next to a conductor - or when the conductor is moved next to the magnet.
Is a magnet a insulator or conductor of electricity?
Assuming you mean electrical conductor / insulator, most bar magnets are made of solid metal, either iron, neodymium or an alloy of aluminium nickel and cobalt, so they conduct electricity. There is one type of magnet called a ferrite magnet which does not conduct electricity - they are the type often found in loudspeakers.
Can magnets conduct electricity?
Some magnets conduct electricity quite well. Others are pretty good insulators. If the magnet is made from metal, chances are that it will be a pretty good electrical conductor. If it is a ceramic magnet or one where magnetic particles are suspended in a non-conductive medium (like those flexible rubber fridge magnets that businesses like to distribute) then the magnet will usually be a very poor electrical conductor.
Can electricity cause a magnetic effect?
Yes, a current carrying conductor behaves like a magnet.
Will Dragging a magnet through a wire coil will create electricity?
Yes. That peculiar action weill create a current in the coil for as long as you keep the magnet moving.
How does a magnet create electricity?
It is not the magnet alone, but the movement of a conductor (wire) in a magnetic field will induce a voltage (and a current, if it is connected in a circuit).
Is a magnet a conductor?
A magnet will conduct electricity.
What is one electromagnet?
magnet that is a conductor if electricity
Is magnet is a good conductor of electricity?
Conductor of electricity is sort of the definition of a magnet. Magnets conduct electrical fields; it is what makes them magnets, in very simple terms.
How can a magnet be used to create an electric current?
An electrical current will flow in a conductor, when a magnet is moved next to a conductor - or when the conductor is moved next to the magnet.
How is a generator useful?
it uses electricity to create a magnet
How is generalizing useful?
it uses electricity to create a magnet

Dose electricity create magnets or do magnets create eletricity?
Yes.A moving magnet inside a coil of wire creates electricity, however, a magnetic flux is produced by an electrical current. Many experiments are described on the internet regarding a current and iron filings to determine the magnetic flux.
