How can electricity produce by using magnet?

Electricity is generated when a piece of conductive metal (such as copper) is passed through a magnetic field (or if the magnetic field is moved around the metal). A generator will have a copper wire in the center, surrounded by a magnet shaped like a torus (donut shaped, wire is in the hole in the middle). The wire is stationary. Electricity is generated when the magnet is spun (moving the magnetic field around the wire). This will generate an AC current (alternating current).


What is the difference between a electrical conductor and a electrical nonconductor?

Simply put an conductor is a material that lets free electrons flow through it. When free electrons are flowing that is called current. So an electrical conductor will have current pass through. Non-conductive material will not allow these electrons to flow and no electricity can be passed through. Good conductors have almost no resistance to electron flow.


What is formed around a conductor when a current is passed through it?

A magnetic field.


What do electricity and heat have in common?

Yes. These both are the different forms of energy (heat energy , electrical energy).These can be converted one to another as per the conservation of energy- " Energy canneither be created nor be destroyed but we can convert one form to another. "Example:1.In thermal power plants, the heat energy is converted into electrical energy.2.In Electric heater, the electrical energy is converted into the heat energy. They can both be used to transfer energy, electricity through a wire or similar conductive material, and heat by conducting through a metal or grill. They can be changed one into the other. For instance, electricity passed through something with high resistance creates heat, whilst heat can be used to make steam and power turbines which make electricity.


Describe domestic electricity distribution?

Generation: Electricity is generated at power plants, which can use various energy sources such as coal, natural gas, nuclear, hydroelectric, wind, or solar power. These power plants produce high-voltage electricity. Step-up Transformer: Before distribution, the electricity is typically passed through a step-up transformer to increase its voltage. Higher voltage transmission reduces energy loss during long-distance transportation. Transmission: The high-voltage electricity is transmitted through a network of high-voltage power lines and substations. These power lines can span long distances, carrying electricity from the power plants to regional distribution centers. Step-down Transformer: At substations located closer to residential and commercial areas, the voltage is reduced through step-down transformers. This process lowers the voltage to a level suitable for distribution to homes and businesses. Distribution Lines: Lower-voltage electricity is then distributed through a network of power lines and transformers at the local level. These distribution lines typically consist of overhead wires or underground cables. Distribution Transformers: Near or within residential and commercial areas, distribution transformers further reduce the voltage to levels suitable for household use, typically 120/240 volts in North America or 230 volts in many other parts of the world. Service Lines: From the distribution transformers, electricity is sent through service lines to individual homes and businesses. These service lines connect to the main electrical panel or meter at each building.

How does electricity come to your house?

Electricity is produced in power station and then passed through to a generator. The generator passes the electricity through lines and then to another generator. it is again passed through lines and then to a primary customer which may be an industry or an electricity company. It is then passed on to a secondary customer through power lines through to your house.
