What do you predict what is going to happen if I try to see if electricity can produce a magnet?

If you use DC, you will create a magnet, and quickly kill your battery. If you use AC, you will not create a magnet, and possibly trip a circuit breaker. In either case, you're likely to create a large, noisy spark before you're through.


What is the difference between magnets and electromagnet?

How is electricity made inside the generator?

electricity in a generator is made by spinning a magnet inside a coil the flux lines of the magnet will cut through the coil and create a current. you can turn the magnet in numerous ways, by using wind mills, water mills, or heating water with coal, oil, gas or nuclear energy, and let the steam rush into a turbine which then moves the magnet.
