A generator contains magnets which can be rotated; as their magnetic lines of force pass through surrounding wires, they generate electricity. In order to create the necessary rotation, various mechanisms are used, such as steam turbines (steam can be made using either fossil fuels or nuclear power), wind, or flowing water. Photoelectric power is made in an entirely different way, but that is not used at power stations.
What else can I help you with?
What is Hydroelectric power?
Moving water can be used to generate electricity in hydroelectric power stations.
When is electricity made?
Electrical energy is mostly generated at the same time as it is used, in other words, all the time 24/7/365. Electricity for powering our homes is generated in power stations.
Why were Nuclear Power Stations made?
Nuclear power stations were designed to generate electricity by harnessing the energy produced from nuclear fission reactions. They were developed to provide a reliable and sustainable source of energy that can help reduce reliance on fossil fuels and decrease greenhouse gas emissions.
Is electricity is natural or man made?
Both. Some kinds are natural and some man-made.
What are the factories called that process electricity?
electricity is made in a power plant.
Is all electricity made the same way?
No. Mostly electricity is made by induction in a coil of wire by moving a magnetic field across it, such as in generators at power stations and alternators in cars. Electricity can also be made by chemical action on plates of dissimilar metal, such as in batteries. Also electricity can be made by light photons, displacing electrons in special material, such as in photovoltaic cells Bending crystals can also produce electricity such as in piezo electric effect, used in lighters.
Do nuclear power station produce co2?
No, nuclear power stations do not produce carbon dioxide (CO2) during the electricity generation process. Nuclear power generates electricity by splitting atoms in a process called nuclear fission, which does not involve the combustion of fossil fuels that produce CO2 emissions.
What is electricity from water power?
It is electricity made under water such as dams and power plants and toys. JK
Why were power plants made?
To produce electricity
Why was the power plant made?
To provide electricity
What is electricity made by water power?
Hydroelectric.
Did London have electricity during the 800's?
Only in the form of lightning. It was about a millennium after that before any practical research was done in the field of electricity.
