They use a generator, which in turn uses the interactions between electric and magnetic fields. Basically, if a wire moves through a magnetic field, a voltage will be induced.

What process do plants use to convert kinetic energy from the sun into the potential energy of sugar?
photosynthesis
Do plants use chemical energy or kinetic energy to transform sunlight into glucose?
They use it for glucose and for growth.
What do land plants do with excess energy?
Land plants generate the energy they need for their metabolic energy by converting their light energy to metabolic enrgy or so called chemical energy.
During photosynthesis plants generate sugars which contain chemical potential energy but plants need external energy to perform photosynthesis. Where does this external energy come from?
nuclear reactions in the Sun
Does a plant have kinetic energy?
Plants do produce energy.Photosynthesis is the process of using photons of light to produce glucose, the plant's energy source.how can it prouce energy tell the steps to understand it u noob.
What are the example of electrical?
An example of electrical energy is large electric power plants generate for electrical energy.
Which best describes the energy conversion that happens when hydroelectric power plants are used to make electricity?
Kinetic energy to electrical energy
What are the energy transformations in hydro power plants?
The potential energy in the head of water is converted into kinetic energy in the turbine which converts the kinetic energy into electrical energy. Potential Energy of water -> Kinetic Energy -> Electrical Energy
What process releases the energy that is used in nuclear power plants to generate electrical energy?
It is nuclear fission
Where do power companies get their electricity from?
They generate it by converting mechanical energy to electrical energy using generators inside power plants.
What kind of energy is produced by electrical power plant?
Energy leaves power plants in the form of AC electricity. There are many types of power plants, but almost all nonrenewable power plants involve the heating of water, then the conversion of that heat energy into kinetic energy through steam, which then spins a turbine to convert that kinetic energy into electric energy, which then leaves the plant through transmission lines.
How many other coal plants would it take to replace nuclear plants?
Depends on the amount of electrical energy they (need to) generate. How much does the average nuclear plant generate ? How much does the average coal plant generate ?
What is the principle of hydro electricity?
The water flowing in the river possesses two types of energy:the kinetic energy due to flow of waterpotential energy due to the height of water.In hydroelectric power plants, the kinetic energy of the water is utilized to generate electricity.
How do wind turbines fix global warming?
They generate electrical energy without also generating carbon dioxide, like other power plants. The amount of energy they generate is very small compared to other power plants, though, so they do not have much effect.
Any machine that converts kinetic energy to electrical energy?
-- steam turbine -- hydroelectric turbine -- wind turbine -- hand-crank generator I think even the nuclear power plants do that ... they use the heat from the reactor core to boil water, then run it through a steam turbine to generate the electric power.
How do plants generate the energy they need for their metabolic energy?
Land plants generate the energy they need for their metabolic energy by converting their light energy to metabolic enrgy or so called chemical energy.
Do plants generate their own energy?
Sort of they generate food which gives them energy so you can say yes
