Magnets are used to generate electricity by rotating them around a metal wire. Alternatively, rotate magnets within a coiled metal wire.


Magnets spinning inside a hydroelectric dam generate what?

What fuel is used the most to generate electricity?

The coal is used mostly to generate electricity.


How are magnets used in making a car run?

magnets are used in the starter and the alternator. in the starter, electro magnets are used to run the electric starter motor and also to bring the pinion gear into the flywheel. in the alternator magnetic current is used to generate electricity to charge the battery. there may be some small magnets in the transmission to pick up metal fillings.


How does moving magnet generate electricity?

magnet moves cause all magnets have an electric field around it]


What farm can be used to generate electricity?

a solar farm can be used to generate electricity. for example if you had a wind mill or water wheel.


What kind of magnets can be used to generate electricity?

Any kind of magnet can be used in a generator or alternator to generate electricity, even an electromagnet (when these are used the generator or alternator is called self-excited). But for the highest efficiency it should be a kind of magnet with a very strong field (so that more lines of flux can cut the conductors in the generator's or alternator's coils).


How do you make electricity out of steam?

There is a type of electrical generating machine called a steam turbine. Steam is used to make the turbine spin. The turbine contains magnets, and the moving magnetic fields, as they intersect wires, generate electricity.


How do magnets help create electricity?

If a conductor - such as a wire - moves through a magnetic field, a voltage is produced in the conductor. This may cause a current (if the wire is connected to an external circuit). This effect is used in generators to generate electricity.


How do magnet s generate electricity?

Magnets are just rocks that come from the Earth. The Earth has grvaity, and when the magnets come up frm the ground they keep there gravity with them and thts how it wrks.


Which fossil fuel is used to generate electricity?

All fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are used to generate electricity.


How do magnets generate electricity?

Magnets generate electricity by moving the magnet along a conductor, such as a wire. This is called induction. When magnetic lines of force sweep across a conductor, the magnetic field induces a voltage in the conductor. Voltage is "electrical pressure" and if a supporting circuit is set up connected to that conductor, current will flow.
