AC alternating current is generated by magnets spining in a generator at 3000 rpm for 50 hz 3600 rpm for 60 hz (1 pair of north south magnets) 1500/1800 for two pairs and so on,

the magnets move the electrons in the wire- copper (since electrons dont like to be neer each other) they move a very tiny amount then back to where they started <<<>>> motion,

in fact the electrons in the power plant never leave the power planet it is just the electrons moveing each other a tiny amount that creates a current.

What is alternating current normally produced by?

Alternating current is typically produced by generators, which convert mechanical energy into electrical energy by electromagnetic induction. These generators are commonly found in power plants, where various energy sources such as coal, natural gas, or renewable sources like wind or hydro power are used to turn the turbines.


What is alternating current produced by?

Alternating current is produced by generators or power plants that use magnetic fields to induce voltage and generate electricity. This type of current changes direction periodically, typically in a sinusoidal waveform.

An alternating current.


How is alernating current that comes out of a wall socket produced?

Alternating current is produced by generators in power plants. These generators use mechanical energy to rotate coils of wire within a magnetic field, which induces an alternating current. The electricity is then transmitted through power lines to homes and businesses.


What is the difference between the welding current produced by alternator and the one produced by a generators?

What is a frequency of ac signal in Pakistan?

The current which changes it direction after every half cycle is called alternating current(A.C) or Alternating current which produced by voltage source whose polarity keeps on reversing with time. By Shahnam qadeer


Which type of current is produced by a wire breaking magnetic field lines and changing the polarity?

An alternating current (AC) is produced when a wire cuts through magnetic field lines and experiences a change in polarity. This phenomenon is known as electromagnetic induction, where the changing magnetic field induces a current in the wire.
