There are two types of generators. First is Alternative current generator and second is Direct current generator. In both types of generators horseshoe-type magnets are used. This magnet is used so that when the shaft is rotated in anticlockwise direction the direction of force is upwards and the magnetic field lines are going from north to south or left to right. By using flemings right hand law the current wil flow from west to east. This magnet makes the current to flow in a circuit consistently to produce electricity.

Where do you use magnet to generate energy?
Magnets are used in generators. A magnet is rotated by something, e.g. a wind turbine, and the magnet turns inside a copper coil which generates electricity. It is the opposite of a motor.
Is gold used in magnets?
No, magnetite is used in magnets. Gold is used in jewelery.
Electromagnetic generators create current by moving what?
Generators tend to move the coild while alternators tend to move the magnets. Those are the only two choices you have to make power. The disadvantage of moving the wires (or coild) is that you really need brushes that wear.
How electricity is produced at power plants?
Huge generators turn magnets inside loops of wire. The resulting changes in the magnetic field relative to the coils induces an electrical current in the wire. The generators themselves are rotated by water- or steam- driven turbines.
What microscope uses a magnetic field?

What is magnetism used for like anything?
Magnets are widely used in motors, generators. speakers and many other things.
What are the Advantages and disadvantages of permanent magnets?
permanent magnets and wound stators (temporary magnets) can be used inthe generators and motors. in small size generators (eg: dynamo in cycle),permanent magnets are used because, 1 it does not require electricity to magnetise 2 does not require stator cooling but in larger size generators and motors, temporary magnets are prefered because, 1 it is small in size of same power permanent magnets 2 we can control the stator magnetic field by adjusting the power 3 the magnetic flux density per square cm is more etc..
What are two uses for magnets?
Stereo speakers and generators.
What is Electrical energy is produced from and generators that use coils and magnets?
motion
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.
Which four things have magnets in them?
* Stereos * Clip holder * Brakes of a train * Generators
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.
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.........................
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.
What are the things that require magnets to function properly?
Among other things, electric motors, generators, particle accelerators.
Is curium used for thermoelectric generators?
Curium is not used in thermoelectric generators.
Where do you use magnet to generate energy?
