Electricity is the flow or potential of electrons , it is produced using 1) hydro electricity (water flows from dam to propel a water wheel connected to an electric motor(alternator) , 2) using burning coal in coal fired stations (uses burning coal to heat water in to steam ,which steam then turns a gas turbine that is connected to an electric generator/alternator 3) using windfarms (uses a giant aerodynamic propeller to turn an alternator(electric motor/generator) from the force of wind.

What is working principle of generator and motor?

The principles of generators, motors and electromagnetism are the same.They produce either Electricity, Magnetism or Spinning (Motor.)-There are four parts of each equation, 1.) Magnetism, 2.) Conductors, 3.) Spinning or Windings and finally 4.) Electricity. Any combination of three of these components will produce the fourth, (with the exception being a conductor is not necessarily produced when the remaining three are combined.)-Generators produce (E) Electricity through the use of (M) Magnetism, (S) Spinning or windings, and (C) Conductors or E = M + S + C.-Motors produce (S) Spinning through the use of (E) Electricity, (M) Magnetism, and (C) Conductorsor S = E + M + C.-Electromagnetism (M) is produced through the use of (E) Electricity, (S) Spinning or windings and (C) Conductors or M = E + S + C.


Converting oil into electricity?

There are 3 ways to convert oil to electricity:1. Conventional steam: oil is burned to heat water and steam, to turn the turbine2. Combustion turbine: oil is burned under pressure to get hot exhaust gases3. Combined-cycle technology: oil is firstly combusted using the combustion turbine meathod, then after the gases are recovered, they heat the water in a boiler and power a second turbineHope this helps - Jack (http://edinburghjunction.webs.com)

What are the 3 ways to measure electricity in circuit?

The three ways to measure electricity in a circuit are voltage, current, and resistance. Voltage is the measure of electrical potential difference between two points, current is the flow of electric charge in a circuit, and resistance is the opposition to the flow of current.
