How does wind converts into electrcity?

Wind is used to turn the blades of a turbine, which spins a generator to produce electricity. As the blades turn, the generator converts the mechanical energy from the wind into electrical energy through electromagnetic induction. This electricity is then sent through transmission lines to power homes and businesses.

How does electrcity mesured?

Electricity is measured in units called kilowatt-hours (kWh). One kilowatt-hour is equal to the amount of energy used by a 1,000-watt appliance in one hour. Utility companies measure the electricity consumption of a household or business in kilowatt-hours to determine how much to charge for electricity usage.


What allows energy or electrcity to flow through readily?

Electricity can flow in the conductor becourse the conductor is made up by electrons. When the wire is connected to the source, these electrons do vibrate and caurse collision among themself. This collision caurse electricity to flow throw the conductor/wire.
