What is best to generate electricity from mechanical energy or magnetic energy?
Afjafj
There actually aren't any large deposits of magnetic energy to tap from, that are easily available, so it doesn't make much sense to talk about "generating electricity from magnetic energy". In a generator, there are magnetic fields, but any energy stored in those is an intermediate step, not the original source of the energy.
With mechanical energy, the situation is quite different; the water in a dam (for example) has a large amount of stored potential energy, which is a kind of mechanical energy.

What is the energy source used to generate electricity?
Mechanical energy
What do you need to generate electricity?
It takes energy to generate electricity. Mechanical energy or thermal energy or nuclear energy , chemical energy,etc, etc,etc
How can you generate electricity from the wind in mechanical energy?
make a windwill.
What energy transfers generate electricity in the dam's staction?
The water's potential energy is converted into mechanical energy (movement); this is then converted to electricity.
Which form of energy is transferred from the wind to generate electricity?
Mechanical or Kinetic energy transferred to electrical energy.
What energy transformation occurs in a windmill used to generate electricity?
kinetic energy (potential energy) which transfers to mechanical energy
Where do power companies get their electricity from?
They generate it by converting mechanical energy to electrical energy using generators inside power plants.
What are 3 renewable sources of energy and an example of each?
Wind turbines take the mechanical energy of wind to generate electricity. Solar cells and solar collectors take the electromagnetic energy in sunlight to generate electrical energy or generate thermal energy to heat a substance. Hydroelectric facilities use the power of water under the influence of gravity to generate mechanical energy and (often) electric power. Let's throw in the idea that if we plumb (put pipes into) volcanic or thermal vents, we can collect thermal energy from the core of the earth. This can be used directly to heat things or to generate mechanical energy to create electricity.
What are the energy conversions which takes place in such power stations using fuels to generate electricity?
Chemical energy to thermal energy to mechanical energy to electrical energy
What is used for wind energy?
Wind is a air in motion.The blades are adsorbed air and rotated.And mechanical energy is developed.And to convert the mechanical power to electric power
How a generator changes rotary motion into electricity?
Mechanical energy is the energy of work. Back in the olden days, brave inventors used steam to power turbines, or used water to turn wheels in a river. These are examples of putting mechanical energy to work. The gears inside a wind up clock need mechanical energy to function.
Generating current electricity?
electric current generate so many types one of mechanical energy convert electrical energy by using generator
