Best Answer

- Your hand moving the crank is a form of kinetic energy.

- When you move the crank, the generator moves electrical wires (wrapped in coils) past stationary rare earth magnets (or vice versa).

- The movement of the wire through the magnetic field generates a current (or attempts to do so - aka voltage)

- This converts the kinetic energy into electrical energy.

- There is typically some resistance of bearings, etc. that converts some of the energy into heat energy (which is typically considered a loss)

- There is no "magnetic energy" in the process. The magnetic field definitely plays a part but only in the conversion of energy.

What energy transformation takes place in the generator?

Kinetic energy


What is an example of conversations or transformation energy?

Electric motor is an example of conversion of energy. Electric generator is another example.


What will happen if there is no heat in energy transformation?

That is normal for example when energy is transformed from mechanical directly into electrical i a generator, or electrical to mechanical in a motor.


What energy transformation occurs in wind power plant?

can someone answer this! The kinetic energy of the wind is captured and transformed into mechanical energy which then drives a generator and it becomes electrical energy.


What is the method of energy transformation of thermonuclear plants?

The method of energy transformation of thermonuclear plants begins with nuclear fission. The nuclear energy is then transformed to thermal energy. This energy is used to boil water which creates steam that spins a turbine. This turbine creates mechanical energy which when coupled with a generator creates electromagnetic energy, or electricity.


Describe the energy transformation that takes place in a generator?

Mechanical energy to electrical energy. A generator consists of a large magnet placed inside a coil of wire. . When the magnet is rotated (mechanical) it impels the electrons in the wire to move(electrical). Conversely, with suitable electrical engineering, when a magnet is placed inside a wire coil and electricity is passed through the wire, it will make the magnet rotate.


Describe the role of energy transformation in the production of electricity?

Heat energy (as steam or hot gas) transforms to kinetic energy through the turbine. The kinetic energy transforms into electricity through the rotor of the electric generator.
