Energy doesn't 'take place'. Until you become more comfortable with it, you
should think of it as some kind of fluid, that flows from place to place, and can
be stored in several ways for when it's needed.
An electric generator is a machine that has a shaft and two terminal connections.
It can supply electrical energy through the terminals when you spin the shaft.
You just have to find something else that has energy, and skim energy off of
that to spin the shaft of the generator. Some possibilities are:
-- wind turning a windmill coupled to the shaft
-- water falling through vanes on the shaft
-- fire boiling water and blowing the steam through vanes on the shaft
-- uranium in a nuclear reactor getting hot and boiling water and blowing the steam through vanes on the shaft
-- a person pedaling an exercise bike coupled to the shaft
-- 400 hamsters running on a treadmill coupled to the shaft.
In every case, it takes 'kinetic energy' to spin the shaft, and the generator
converts that kinetic energy into electrical energy.

Why does the coil have to spin in a generator?
A coil has to spin in a generator to produce electricity.
Device that converts mechanical mechanical energy into electricity by electromagnetic induction?
Generator
What piece of equipment is used to produce electricity?
Some possible answers are: a battery (which produces direct current) or a generator of electricity generator, such as a dynamo (which produces direct current) or an alternator (which produces alternating current).
Current electricity vs electrical current?
Current or "electrical current" (to distinguish it from current in a river) is the flow of electrons in a wire which can perform useful work. The current can be generated by a battery or a generator, or by other means. Current electricity is not a commonly used term. "Current electricity" is the science of electric currents, and it means the same thing as Electrodynamics. Example: the Electrical Sciences can be divided into two parts: Static Electricity or Electrostatics, and Current Electricity or Electrodynamics.
A machine for making electricity?
Generator or dynamo
How does electricity be generated by wind turbines?
They use a generator to turn it into Electricity
How does electricity be generated by wind?
with windmills which gears turn a generator to make electricity
How is elecreicity generated?
Electricity can be generated through a generator. It can also be made by rubbing your slippers across the carpet.
How you get electricity?
Electricity is a concept and exists everywhere, even in vacuum. Hence you can not "get" electricity. An electrical current can be generated by connecting two voltage sources of different potential with a conductor. A voltage can be generated with an electromagnetic generator. An electromagnetic generator generates voltages by moving electrons in a conductor through a magnetic field, causing a force upon the electrons.
What is an electric source?
An electricity generator is an electrical source. A power point on the wall is an electrical source.An electrical source is the place where electricity can be accessed from or the place where it is generated.
How is electricity generated by nuclear fuels?
The nuclear reaction creates heat. The heat is used to create steam and run a steam generator.
How is electrical energy generated from running water?
Usually the water will turn some wheels or turbine; this will then turn a generator, which generates the electricity.
In uk electricity is generated as?
in the uk electricity is generated at ?
What resource is used when making electricity using hydroelectricity?
Hydroelectricity is generated through the action of water. Water flow will turn the shaft of a generator which produces a clean and renewable flow of electricity.
Ways an electron flow can be generated?
OK seventh grade Science: A magnetic Feild moving past a "winding" or loop of wires will induce a flow of electrons in a circuit. A generator does this by creating a magnet that rotated inside a special set of windings.
What part of the generator is rotated by the drive belt?
A drive belt causes the inside part of the generator rotate. An electric generator can be either a magnet (and magnetic field) rotating and surrounded by wires or a coiled wire rotating in a surrounding magnetic field. EIther way works to generate electricity. The wire is where the electricity is generated. We use more wire to generate more electricity and we coil the wires to keep the size from getting too big. The stronger the magnet, the more electricity is generated. Instead of using a real permanent magnet, we usually make an electromagnet (such as wires wrapped around iron) attached to a battery or powered off the electricity created by the generator. In an automobile it is not called a generator. It is called an alternator because it generates alternating current electricity instead of direct current.
Why is the word generator technically incorrect according to its root meaning?
The word generate means to create, or bring forth. A generator is more of a converter because it takes in gas, and gives out electricity.
