The amount of an electric motor's copper depends upon the size of the motor and the supplies used to make it. Generally, the older the motor, the more copper will be present.

Describe how a simple generator produces electric energy?

A copper wire coil is rotated at speed in a magnetic field, to cause electrons to move. This is the electric current. The stronger the magnets and/or thicker the copper coil, the more current is produced


Can you run an electric stove off generator?

Yes, you can run an electric stove off a generator, but it may require a generator with a higher wattage capacity to handle the stove's power requirements. Make sure to check the stove's wattage and the generator's capacity before attempting to power the stove.


Could you make an ion generator with copper wire and aluminum foil?

Because there is no source of electromagnetic energy in those two substances and the substances are not reactive with themselves or each other, there is no way to build any kind of generator. However, with copper wire and a magnet, you could build a small electric generator by wrapping the copper wire into an oblong solenoid and placing the magnet at a fixed position nearby, then rotating the copper wire on its axis in the presence of the magnet. This will generate a current in the copper wire. In order to generate actual ions of any sort, that will depend on the type, charge, and concentration of ions desired. Because ions are generally not stable in uncontrolled environments, it is unlikely that any kind of ion could be generated in quantities much greater than the autoionization of water produces.

Where can I find information that compares a gas generator versus an electric generator?

A gas generator generates electricity and can be used as a backup in a power outage. I am not certain what you mean by an electric generator. If there was a power outage, how would an electric generator work?


Is an electric power generator safer than a natural gas powered generator?

You can purchase an electric power generator, but it won't do you much good if the electric goes out. A kerosene or deisel generator would be a better choice.


Electric Generator Benefits ?

When selecting a generator for your home, the electric generator stands out from the competition. Compared to gas generators, electric models take up much less space. This can be any essential feature for those using the generator at a vacation home. The electric generator is easy to install. In most cases, the electric generator will need very little maintenance. No harmful gases are emitted making it the most safe generator on the market today.


Why is copper wire better to use for an electromagnetic generator?

Copper wire is better for an electromagnetic generator because copper has high electrical conductivity, which allows for efficient transmission of electricity. It also has good ductility, making it easy to shape and form into coils for the generator. Additionally, copper has good resistance to corrosion, ensuring long-term durability of the generator.


What is a hydro electric generator?

Hydro- means water. A hydro-electric generator uses moving water from a river or dam to turn the generator and produce electricity.

Are there magnets in a electric generator?

In a typical electric generator, there are magnets that help generate electricity through the process of electromagnetic induction. These magnets create a magnetic field that interacts with the coils of wire in the generator to produce an electric current.


What are motor made from?

an electric motor is a copper winding or 3 separate windings depending on the phase, the copper winding is the centralised inside of a iron magnet, this is also how a generator is made instead of putting a current on you turn the windings to receive a voltage .
