The device you are referring to is a generator. In a generator, stationary coils of wire are situated within a rotating magnetic field created by magnets, which are often attached to turbines. As the turbines spin, they cause the magnets to rotate, inducing an electrical current in the stationary coils through electromagnetic induction. This process converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.

What relies on magnets for movement?

Electric motors rely on magnets for movement. They have both stationary magnets and rotating electromagnets that interact to produce motion. Additionally, maglev trains use magnets to levitate above the tracks and move without friction.


What is a stator magnet?

A stator magnet is a permanent magnet located on the stationary part of an electric motor or generator. It produces a magnetic field that interacts with the rotating part (rotor) to generate mechanical motion or electrical power. Stator magnets play a crucial role in converting electrical energy into mechanical or vice versa in various applications.


Can Magnets cause centrifugal force?

Magnets cannot directly cause centrifugal force. Centrifugal force is an outward force experienced in a rotating reference frame, while magnets produce magnetic force due to the alignment of magnetic moments within the material. These are two different phenomena.


Why does steel stick to magnets but alomanem doesn't?

Steel contains iron, which is ferromagnetic and can be magnetized. Aluminum, on the other hand, is not ferromagnetic but paramagnetic, so it is not attracted to magnets. This difference in magnetic properties explains why steel sticks to magnets but aluminum does not.


How does water make electricity?

Water, as it flows downhill can be made to spin turbines. These turbines can be used to move electromagnets through electrical coils. The motion of magnets, though coils generates electricity through a process called induction.

Could you make a generator by mounting permanent magnets on a rotating shaft and keeping the coil stationary?

Yes, only relative motion between the coil and the magnetic field is important.

No.


Why is excitation necessary for synchronous generators?

generators work by rotating a magnetic field thru a wire shell or by rotating wire thru a stationary magnetic field (think of a small DC motor with magnets around the shell) since large generators dont have magnets in them (its not very efficent)you have to send a flowing current thru the rotating coils to produce the magnetic field. this induces current in the stator and you have a generator..of course the same effect is produced by inducing a current in the stator and pulling the output from the rotor.


What are wind towers and what is its use?

Wind towers uses the power of the wind to propel the blades of the turbines. The turbines cause the rotation of magnets, which creates energies.


What are large wheels that rotate the magnets of a generator when pushed by steam wind or water?

Those are called turbines. Turbines are used in generators to convert the kinetic energy from steam, wind, or water into mechanical energy that rotates the magnets to generate electricity.


What part of the ac generator produces the rotating magnetic field?

The stator and the magnets.


What is the name of the iron magnets in the field circuit of a motor?

The stator is the stationary part of a rotor system.


Where can someone recycle ceramic magnets?

Industrial ceramic magnets otherwise known as large rotating drum magnets, are used by the metal scrap and recycling industries. The magnets are used to separate and process metals. If you are looking to recycle one of these magnets you can find a company that uses them for recycling.


How does a nail attract with magnets?

it contains iron


Do magnets stick to wrought iron?

Yes, magnets can stick to wrought iron because it contains a small amount of ferrous material that is attracted to magnets. However, wrought iron is not as magnetic as steel, which contains a higher percentage of iron.


Where does stator located in the electric motor?

The stator is located at the outer part of an electric motor. It consists of stationary windings or permanent magnets and surrounds the rotor, which is the rotating part of the motor. The stator generates a magnetic field when electrical current flows through it, enabling the rotor to turn and produce mechanical energy.
