The amount of an electric motor's copper depends upon the size of the motor and the supplies used to make it. Generally, the older the motor, the more copper will be present.

Describe how a simple generator produces electric energy?
A copper wire coil is rotated at speed in a magnetic field, to cause electrons to move. This is the electric current. The stronger the magnets and/or thicker the copper coil, the more current is produced
Will a 2800 watt generator run a 550 watt electric cement mixer motor?
The sizing of the generator is dependant on the size of the electric motor driving the mixer.
When did Michael Faraday invent the generator?
Michael Farday invented the first electric generator in 1831.
What two machines that you use today are based on Michael Faradays findings?
electric motor and electric generator
How does a generator convert mechanical energy into electrical energy?
An electric generator is a device used to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, Which is used to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. The generator is based on the principle of "electromagnetic induction" discovered in 1831 by Michael Faraday, a British scientist. Faraday discovered that if an electric conductor, like a copper wire, is moved through a magnetic field, electric current will flow (be induced) in the conductor. So the mechanical energy of the moving wire is converted into the electric energy of the current that flows in the wire.
What percentage of an electric motor is copper?
80
How can you build an Electric generator?
You need copper wire to pass through a magnetic field
Describe how a simple generator produces electric energy?

Where can I find information that compares a gas generator versus an electric generator?
A gas generator generates electricity and can be used as a backup in a power outage. I am not certain what you mean by an electric generator. If there was a power outage, how would an electric generator work?
Is an electric power generator safer than a natural gas powered generator?
You can purchase an electric power generator, but it won't do you much good if the electric goes out. A kerosene or deisel generator would be a better choice.
Electric Generator Benefits ?
When selecting a generator for your home, the electric generator stands out from the competition. Compared to gas generators, electric models take up much less space. This can be any essential feature for those using the generator at a vacation home. The electric generator is easy to install. In most cases, the electric generator will need very little maintenance. No harmful gases are emitted making it the most safe generator on the market today.
What is a hydro electric generator?
Hydro- means water. A hydro-electric generator uses moving water from a river or dam to turn the generator and produce electricity.
An electric generator changes the energy of what?
Electric energy into motion.
What is a backwards working electric motor described as?
Electric Generator. :)
Why is copper wire better to use for an electromagnetic generator?
Copper is a metal, and is an excellent conductor of electricity. That's why it would be chosen for use in an electromagnetic generator.
What is the opposite of a generator?
electric motor
What is electric power generation?
An electric power generator is a generator the converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. That way you can get energy from the generator to produce electricity to places like your home.
