Are magnets inside electric generators small enough to be turned by hand?

It depends on the size of the generator. In large ones, like the type that power cities, no. But small generators exist that can be powered by hand, like those found in emergency radios.

Uses of magnets in everyday life?
To seal your frig door; inside your toaster; in all the motors in your house.
The wire inside an electric bulb is known as the what?
This was called a filament and was found in older electric light bulbs.
A magnets field lines always start near the magnets?
The field lines have no start or stop. They form closed loops and can never cross. The field lines are found inside and outside the magnet. From the point of view looking from inside the magnet the field lines appear to be (say) S to N, while outside the lines appear to be N to S. ( you could choose the opposite convention) +-->---| S inside -->--------- N | --- outside-->-+ +-----------<-----------<-----------<---------------<-+
Could you make electricity?
Sure. A simple generator can be made by using magnets, wires, and iron. Look inside a hand-cranked radio or flashlight to see the basic layout.
What do magnets and subatomic particles have in common?
They both have little particles inside of them that help them function correctly. they are alike mainly in two ways. they are both attracted to opposites. and also, they are retracted to like sides. -lif3isg00dx3
Why does the Hoover Dam create hydro electric power?
If you spin a magnet inside a coil of wire, you will create an electric current. The stronger the magnet, or the larger the coil, or the faster the spin, the more electricity you will generate. Hydro electric power is created the same way. The water behind the dam flows through sluice gates and turns large turbines (these are like propellers) which are attached to generators that produce the electrical current. The generators are essentially magnets inside a coil of wire, or a coil of wire turning inside a magnet - either way will work.
What electric current is produced when a spinning shaft rotates magnets inside a generator?
direct current
Electric current is produced when a spinning shaft rotates magnets inside a generator?
The process in which electric current is produced when a spinning shaft rotates magnets inside a generator is referred to as 'Direct Current'. It is not expected to work by the normal standard physics model however some people claim it is just.
Do magnets make electricity?
No. Magnets create an electric feild, not electricity.However, when you spin a magnet inside a coil of wire (or you can spin the coil of wire instead), you will create an electrical current.
What are the danger of working in a Hydro-Electric Power Plant?
The lubrication for the generators is toxic and the electro-magnetic waves will fry you from the inside out.
How electricity is produced at power plants?
Huge generators turn magnets inside loops of wire. The resulting changes in the magnetic field relative to the coils induces an electrical current in the wire. The generators themselves are rotated by water- or steam- driven turbines.
Where do you use magnet to generate energy?
Magnets are used in generators. A magnet is rotated by something, e.g. a wind turbine, and the magnet turns inside a copper coil which generates electricity. It is the opposite of a motor.
How do generators produced electricity?
Wire is wrapped around a core. This is rotated inside a magnetic field so it alternates the direction of the flow of electrons. This causes the electric current.
Can you make electicity from a magnet?
Yes, magnets are spun rapidly inside coils of wire to induce an electric current within the wire, this is the basic principal of an electricity generator.
How is electricity produce inside a nuclear plant?
Nuclear fission produces heat energy that produces steam The steam spins the turbines that spins electric generators and hence producing electricity.
What are discovered magnets?
they are the cwatam physics inside a eclectron
What is inside magnets?
There is nothing inside magnets. The solid metal has magnetic properties due to it's molecular make up. Magnets are commonly made of iron, but there are more powerful magnets, made from alloys of rare earth metals. The magnetic fiels surround the whole magnetic object.
