At least one. Beyond that it depends on the specific design of the generator.

A machine that uses a magnet to make electricity is called?

a generator


How can magnet produce current?

Faraday found that a wire passed by a magnet induces a current in the wire. This led to making an electrical generator.


Disadvantage of permanent magnet generator?

since the magnet are place in north and north direction or south and south direction, the magnet will continue to loose it magnetic force of attraction. for more question call me on 2348133605375.


What devices use magnets to create electricity?

An electrical generator. A microphone. A jet engine vibration detector. It has a magnet moving inside a bobbin with wire wrapped around it. An electric guitar pick up. A tape recorder head. A solar powered Sterling engine. The piston is a magnet and it passes through a coil. A few more.


How is electricity generated using wind shown as a diagram?

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 a permanent magnet solenoid be modified to work like a permanent magnet linear generator?

yes - need to run electricity through it to make it a linear magnetic generator.


How does a Generator conductor electricity?

The generator induces a current in a wire using a magnet and a coil of wire. When the drive on a generator is rotated, a magnet inside the generator is spun around. This creates a moving magnetic field inside the generator. Located inside and around the generator is a coil of wires, which lead to a power storage device. As the magnetic field moves around, it induces a current in these wires by pushing the electrons inside the wires. The amount of electricity generated by a generator can be increased by increasing the amount of coils around the magnet, increasing the strength of the magnet, or by simply increasing the speed at which the drive is turned.

What are Factors that causes a permanent magnet generator not to generate emf?

Either the break in the circuit or loss magnetic strength of the magnet - can result into no generation


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.
