What does a turbine spin around to make electrons flow in a wire?

Not around... moving THROUGH a magnetic field forces electrons to flow through a wire.

Does the electrons go from the battery plus to - or is it the other way around?
Yes. The electrons, which are negatively charged, are pushed away from the negative terminal, which has excess electrons, and they and flow to the positive terminal where there are less electrons.
How does electricity travel through wire?
copper in wires is a metal, and like all metals it is made up of atoms bound together. Basically, atoms are made of a nucleus in the middle, and electrons revolving around the nucleas. In all elements except metals, the nucleus doesn't "let go" of the electrons (unless there is a chemical reaction, but dont worry about that for now), but in metals, the electrons are"allowed to go around" to other nucleuses, electrons are allowed to flow around atoms freely in a metal. It is this flow of electrons that is electricity. however a driving force is needed to make the electrons flow around the copper wire, this comes from a battery or a dynamo.

Current and voltage?
The current is the flow of electrons The voltage is the push the power source gives to the electrons to make the current faster. The flow of electrons is electricity HI!! By the way I am amazing! Trust me.
What refers to the flow of electrons through a wire?
Electricity is the name given to the flow of electrons. Conventionally, the electrons flow from the negative terminal to the positive. An individual electron does not make the whole trip instantaneously - an electron moves on to an atom, which then has an excess of charge, and the spare electron is passed on to the next atom, and so on.electrons are charged particles and the flow of these electrons constitute electricity.
What are the tiny particles that make up electricity?
The electrons make up the electricity. For commercial production of electricity one needs to move the turbine in a magnetic field.
What describes electromagnetism?
Magnetism can cause electrons to flow, and electricity can make a wire magnetic.
Does electrons make up an atom nucleus?
No, the electrons are around the nucleus, not in the nucleus.
What statements describes electromagnetism?
Magnetism can cause electrons to flow, and electricity can make a wire magnetic.
Do electrons make up nucleus?
No, protons and neutrons do. Electrons are in orbitals around the nucleus.
Metals are good conductors of electricity. how does metallic bonding make this possible?
Electrons in a metallic bond are delocalised (free to move), thus can pass heat energy through the metal. Electrons also possess greater kinetic energy, and therefore able to transfer energy faster. answered by a Chem student
