A geophysical survey company uses a dual-purpose electromagnetic device that can operate either as a sensor (geophone) to record underground vibrations, or as an active source (seismic shaker) to generate controlled waves in the ground.

Schematic of a dual-purpose geophone and seismic shaker

Compare the physical principles and operation of this electromagnetic device when it is used as a sensor (geophone) with when it is used as an active source (seismic shaker).
