Which energy source relies on naturally occurring sources of running water to create electricity?
Which energy source relies on naturally occurring sources of running water to create electricity?
Energy sources that are in limited supply are resources?
Energy sources that are in limited supply are resources include electricity. This is because it hard to create and harvest electricity.
How is electricity created by nuclear energy?
There are several way to create electricity from nuclear energy. The most common way is to generate heat from the controlled fission of 235U, releasing binding energy, using that to heat water to steam, and using the steam to spin turbines that drive generators.
How do hydroelectric magnets create electricity?
There is no such thing as a hydroelectric magnet, but perhaps you mean how do hydroelectric generators create electricity? Generators work in a way opposite to electric motors. In this generator, a stream of water flows past the vanes of a turbine and causes the turbine to spin. The turbine causes an armature with magnets to rotate. The consequent rotating magnetic field moves past conductive coils of wire surrounding the armature, and as you may know, current is generated when a conductive wire is exposed to a moving magnetic field.
How do magnets and wire make electricity?
Any time a conductor passes through a magnetic field you create electricity. It may be infinitesimally small, but it is there. It is caused by the magnetic field forcing electrons in the conductor to move. It is called electromotive force(emf) and is measured in volts. If there is no circuit, which is a path for the electrons to flow, it is not useable. Generators, or the alternator in your car, are simply ways to create enough emf to be useable.

How does crude oil generate electricity?
Usually by getting refined a bit, then getting burned in boilers to create steam, which then is used to spin turbines, which then power generators, which create electricity.
What limits the use of wind as a major source of energy?
Turbines and generators in the wind machines create electricity.

Which energy source relies on naturally occurring sources of running water to create electricity?
How are magnets and electrical generators related?
Electrical generators have sliding magnets that go back and forth to create mechanical energy in them....and that's why they are related.
What kind of generator should I buy for different purposes?
Power generators come in different types based on fuel source (propane or diesel) and power output. They are generally not made for different purposes- they create electricity to power devices in the event standard electricity sources are unavailable.
We get electricity from water but why dont we get shocked when we touch the water?
the reason is because we don't get the electricity directly from the water we get it because the water spins turbines that turn generators that then create electricity
Energy sources that are in limited supply are resources?
Energy sources that are in limited supply are resources include electricity. This is because it hard to create and harvest electricity.
How is fossil fuel used to create electricity?
Coal is burnt to boil water into steam steam is then used to drive turbines that are connected to generators that make electricity
What are the uses of ac generators?
AC generators create alternating currents which are transformed into electricity. There are many uses for generators. The most widely used function is to run a generator for household use should there be a power outage.
What is generater?
A generator can be one of a great many different things. Many generators create something like electricity or thoughtful ideas.
What are the uses of solenoid?
Solenoids are coils of wire that create a magnetic field when an electric current passes through it. These are used in the alternator of a car to create electricity. Solenoids are also used in generators to create electricity in power stations and in transformers to change the voltage of an AC current.
