The main concept in power generation is the same for wind farms, hydroelectric plants, and steam plants (e.g. coal, natural gas, and nuclear). All of these plants have generators that have a magnetic core surrounded by windings of wires. When the magnet spins, it's electromagnetic field induces current (the flow if electrons) in the wires. In a wind generator, the blades of the fan are blown by the wind, and that's what causes the magnet to spin in the generator.
Fyi: when you have a magnetic core surrounded by windings of wires; instead of physically spinning the magnet to produce electricity, you can send current through the wires to spin the magnet (i.e. you would have a motor instead of a generator).

Can electricity be generated without using man-made materials?
yes electricity collects in clouds to form lightning and in living organisims such as the electric eel. Also static electricity can be generated using friction (in hair for example).
How is the cell in Diagram B effectively using its resources?
Diagram B Because there is no lactose present. Where is diagram B?
Can using electrical equipment cause climate change?
Yes, most electricity is generated from fossil fuel power, and burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide, the greenhouse gas that is causing global warming and climate change.
What ways do business produce carbon dioxide?
Industries and factories emit carbon dioxide through burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), and from using electricity which is largely generated from fossil fuels.
How does electricity affect the environment?
Electricity could affect the environment in various ways.For Instance:Lightning could cause trees to burn, and be the starting point for forest fires etc.Electricity used in our homes and in companies come from factories run by coal. The fumes released by the burning coal travels upwards into our air and damage the ozone layer. It's also primarily because of this, people believe, that Global Warming exists today.People get electrocuted and so forth(excuse me laughing- haha).Hope that helps, CobyGrey
How can electricity be generated using wind?
using wind turbines !
Electricity for recharging batteries should be generated using what kind of resources?
Electricity for recharging batteries should be generated using resources which are renewable. Renewable resources will not run out.
Can electricity be generated without using man-made materials?
yes electricity collects in clouds to form lightning and in living organisims such as the electric eel. Also static electricity can be generated using friction (in hair for example).
What electricity is generated using water?
Hydropower is generated using water. It harnesses the energy of flowing or falling water to produce electricity. This is done by capturing the kinetic energy of the water and converting it into mechanical energy, which is then used to spin turbines connected to generators, producing electricity.
What percent of the world's electricity generated using gas?
In 2011, twenty-one percent of the world's electricity was generated using gas. Physicists expect that number to rise to twenty-five percent by 2040.
What type of energy is generated by using the earth heat?
Geothermal energy - electricity.
How does water mess up electricity?
Water is stored in hydropower plants. Electricity is generated using the potential energy of water.
How does decommissioning affect the overall cost of electricity generated using nuclear fuels?
SMD
What proportion of your electricity is generated using nuclear energy?
World wide the figure is about 16 percent
involves reducing the electricity consumed & environmental waste generated when using a computer?
green computing
Draw a diagram to explain how electricity can be generated using wind?
you cant draw anything here so..... wind turbines turn generators which makes electrical power. I'm just learning this, so go Google Images to find out!
What types of electricity generated by using some type of motion?
Alternating current and static electricity. Pulses of current made via piezo electricity would be called d.c.
