What is the electricity generated by magnetism?
Electricity produced by magnetism is called induced voltage. It is by induction, the passage of a magnetic field across a conductor, that a voltage will be induced ("caused" or "made to happen") in that conductor.
What is removal of organic materials from the soil called?
organic materials - if it means minerals then process is called mining.
Organic matter in soil is also called .?
The formation of complex organic matter in soil is called Humus
A discharge of static electricity from a huge cloud is called a?
A discharge of static electricity from a huge cloud is called lightning.
What is the study of fuels called?
Organic Chemistry
Which energy flow uses the flow of moving water to generate electricity?
You question is meaningless but the use of moving water to generate electricity is called 'Hydroelectricity'.
Which energy source uses the flow of moving water to generate electricity?
electricity from water is called hydro - or hydroelectric power
What is a region where many windmills are located in order to generate electricity from wind called?
Wind Farm
What is river osmosis water?
when higher concentration and lower concentration are getting contact then a potential differences occurs and which generates electricity ,and that process is called osmosis .. and when sea water gets contact with river water it generate electricity that process is called river osmosis...
How do magnets generate electricity?
Magnets generate electricity by moving the magnet along a conductor, such as a wire. This is called induction. When magnetic lines of force sweep across a conductor, the magnetic field induces a voltage in the conductor. Voltage is "electrical pressure" and if a supporting circuit is set up connected to that conductor, current will flow.
How do you make electricity out of steam?
There is a type of electrical generating machine called a steam turbine. Steam is used to make the turbine spin. The turbine contains magnets, and the moving magnetic fields, as they intersect wires, generate electricity.
How do you generate electricity?
There are many ways to get electricity. Batteries are one form, outlets another. But if you want to generate your own electricity, you can use pedal or hand-powered generators, a wind turbine, or a solar panel. Most cars create electricity to power the spark plugs and run the accessories. All forms of consumer electricity are generated by moving spinning magnets past coils of copper wire in a device called an alternator. This can be driven by a steam turbine, a wind turbine, hydroelectric turbine or tidal barrage. (Solar photovoltaic cells generate DC current which must be converted to AC for input to the power grid.)
What kind of magnets can be used to generate electricity?
Any kind of magnet can be used in a generator or alternator to generate electricity, even an electromagnet (when these are used the generator or alternator is called self-excited). But for the highest efficiency it should be a kind of magnet with a very strong field (so that more lines of flux can cut the conductors in the generator's or alternator's coils).
Do nuclear power plants make electricity from fossil fuel?
No. Nuclear power plants use a uranium to provide the heat to generate electricity from. By splitting the nuclei of uranium atoms (called nuclear fission), energy is released, which will be used for electricity generation. Uranium is a radioactive metal, not a fossil fuel.
How does hydroelectric power generates electricity?
•Use running water to generate electricity, whether it's a small stream or a larger river. •Small or micro hydroelectricity systems, also called hydropower systems or just hydro systems, can produce enough electricity for lighting and electrical appliances in an average home.
What are the white fans that make electricity called?
The white fans that make electricity are called wind turbines. Wind turbines are devices that convert the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy through the use of rotating blades. When the wind blows, it causes the blades to spin, which in turn drives a generator to produce electricity. Wind turbines are commonly used to generate renewable energy from wind power.
What is the difference between gross tariff and net tariff as regards solar panels?
This is where the electricity company buys the electricity you generate from your solar panels.Gross tariff means they buy everything you generate. This often means that they will buy your electricity during the day at a higher price than you have to pay them for your evening use.Net tariff means they buy only the surplus energy you produce. Your own electricity is used first on whatever is running in your house. If there is any left, then the company will buy it.Net tariff is also called export metering.
