What does a turbine produce?

A turbine is most commonly connected to a generator to produce electricity. The turbine may be turned by water falling into it, and a generator produces electricity by turning through a magnetic field.


What is Generalization explain?

A generator is tool that converts kinetic energy into electricity, through the use of magnets which is surrounded by magnetic fields. As a magnet starts turning its magnetic fields collide with a coil that surrounds the magnet. Which induces current, which is electricity.

How can wind and water can be used as a source of electricity?

Wind and water force can be used to turn turbines which in turn produce electricity. I'm not entirely sure how turbines work but I believe that the turning motion produces kinetic energy which can be harnessed as electricity.


What is difference between turning machine and lathe machine?

There is no difference between a turning machine and a lathe. They are two names for the same kind of machine


Wind turbines convert what energy into electrical energy?

The propellors are attached to a shaft that turns a gearbox that turns an electric motor that produces electricity. You need to study how an electric motor generator works. A regular electric motor turns when electric current is run through it. There are coils of wire wound a rotating armature that is placed between Magnets. An electric generator is made very similar. When the wire coils are rotated within the magnetic field, this produces electricity.


When Turning on a light what energy is converted?

Why generator produces only AC?

A generator produces electricity by moving wires through a magnetic field. The direction of the induced current is dependent upon the direction in which the wire crosses the magnetic field. In a generator the magnetic field is usually fixed - and the wires are spinning through it. So: Visualize a horizontal magnetic field. The axis of rotation of the wires is perpendicular to the field. Any given wire will be cutting up through the field at a given point... then, 180º later will be cutting down through the same field. The direction of the induced current will reverse with each half-rotation because the wire will be moving in the opposite direction relative to the magnetic field. (In the USA the generators produce "60 cycle" current. That tells you that the generators are turning their wires (coils) at 60 revolutions per second.) Richard yeaa buddie...Lickety splyt

How does electricity make a computer run how does it store the memory even when the power is turned off?

its hard to answer the question of how electricity makes a computer work but how it stores data is easy it writes it to a magnetic disk in the form of ones and zeros its like turning a light on(1) or off(0) hope this helps you out


How can dynamo be used to power a bikes light?

A dynamo's axle pressed against and is turned by the bikes wheel. This turning moves wires in an magnetic field. This motion of wires in the magnetic field creates electricity to power the bike lights. The Law of Conservation of the Electromagnetic field, in particular Faradays Law, is the basis of this.
