Best Answer

the electro magnet is allowed to spin in circular rotation , and because the magnet has magnetic lines of flux exuding from itself,

the magnetic lines induce electrical current into the stator electrical winding circuits

by the action of passing thruogh the area of the stator windings

They produce a magnetic field. The moving wires cut this field, producing electricity according to Maxwell's equations. Theoretically the wires could be held still and the magnets could be moved (the equations work out the same either way), and in practice this is generally done for simplicity in very large AC generators which use electromagnets to generate the magnetic field (the field current is much less than the armature current, so having a stationary armature and moving magnets turns out to be easier).

The magnets in a simple generator are usually permanent magnets, but using electromagnetic "field coils" instead allows a higher flux density and is generally done in large commercial generators.

magnet work for generation of manetic flux which induced electricity.it is simple when we put our current genrating circuit constant and move magnet toward and away the magnet flux acting on cil changes and electricity produces in coil.

It produces the magnetic field the moves in relation to the coiled conductor in order to induce an EMF potential.

How are magnets and electrical generators related?

Electrical generators have sliding magnets that go back and forth to create mechanical energy in them....and that's why they are related.


What are the things that require magnets to function properly?

Among other things, electric motors, generators, particle accelerators.


What could you use a magnet for?

All electric motors contain magnets- and information storage in computers is based on magnets. Electrical generators contain magnets, as do electrical transformers. Even the charger for your IPod is based on electromagnets.


Things that contain magnets?

Magnets are used to make electric motors and generators. Without these electric motors and generators we would not have telephones, lights, electric heat, television, or computers. Some items that use electromagnets are: Maglev trains, car crushers, scrap metal sorters, telephones, computers, doorbells, tape recorders etc. Magnets are also used in compasses to show attraction and repulsion. Magnetized compasses are used to detect underground metal pipes.

Are magnets inside electric generators small enough to be turned by hand?

It depends on the size of the generator. In large ones, like the type that power cities, no. But small generators exist that can be powered by hand, like those found in emergency radios.


How can magnets contribute in your society?

Magnets are very important to us. without a magnet there is not even a single electric machine is found....... magnet is used in electronics also for example PC hard disk;windmill,speakers,motors ,generators,etc.........................


How is Law of electric charge related to electric motor?

An electric motor is made up of magnets .. some electric induced magnets , some permanent magnets . the electric magnets are arranged so that when the power is turned on they activate in a series of pulsing magnets.. this pulsing causes the magnets in the core and the magnets in the body of the motor to repel and attract as magnets will do .. this repelling and attracting causes the magnets to try and chase each other around .. this action is turning the core of the motor and producing the rotating action expected from an electric motor


Is a generator a electromagnet?

Electric motors and electric generators can have permanent magnets or electromagnets. It depends on the design. For example electric generators can be dynamos, alternators, or rotary converters. However, in general electric motors are electromagnetic so that resistance disappears when current is cut and electric generators have permanent magnets.
