∙ 8y agoThe power we use from the grid is generated by large alternators in which a powerful rotating magnet is driven past the coils in which the electric power is induced.
The physical limit for the size of a single alternator is about 300 MW. The size is limited by the strength of the rotating parts which have to be run at a safe margin below the speed at which they would fly apart.

∙ 7y agoGenerators are used for nearly all large-scale electrical power generation. What makes the generator shaft turn is generally either a steam (coal, oil, gas, nuclear), water (hydroelectric, i.e. dams), or wind (wind power) turbine.
However, in most generators I've seen, the magnets are stationary and the coils turn. A non-rotating coil would be much simpler to connect to stationary output wires, so perhaps a civil engineer could weigh in as to why the opposite design is so much more common; my guess would be that it allows the use of heavier, more powerful magnets without a corresponding increase in rotational inertia.

How does moving magnet generate electricity?
magnet moves cause all magnets have an electric field around it]
Is any device availble for electricity meter stop?
No device. Because of magnetic shield no magnets can produce any effect on the rotation of the disk in the electricity meter. You better consume less electricity there by your bill will be in your budget.
As electrons pass through a particular device magnets begin to rotate. This rotation is then used to power devices such as ceiling fans. This is a description of what happens in a(n) .?
Electric motor
Who was the Danish scientist whose discoveries about the relationship between electricity and magnets led to the invention of the generator and the electric motor?
alessandro volta
How is Law of electric charge related to electric motor?
An electric motor is made up of magnets .. some electric induced magnets , some permanent magnets . the electric magnets are arranged so that when the power is turned on they activate in a series of pulsing magnets.. this pulsing causes the magnets in the core and the magnets in the body of the motor to repel and attract as magnets will do .. this repelling and attracting causes the magnets to try and chase each other around .. this action is turning the core of the motor and producing the rotating action expected from an electric motor

What do magnets have to with electricity?
Faraday showed that a wire passing through a magnetic field will produce electricity. This is how a generator works. Many windings of wire on an armature spin in a magnetic field. This makes electricity.
Does an electric egg beater contain magnets?
Yes, an electric egg beater will have some kind of magnets in it. These may be permanent magnets, or may be electromagnets, but the motor in the appliance will have to have some kind of magnets in it to operate on electricity.
A particular power source creates electricity through the use of giant magnets that are rotated to create a flow of electrons. This electricity is then directed?

How does magnets affect electricity?
Electricity affects magnetism because it can determine the direction of a current. A number of magnets are just iron bars with an electric current circulating around it.
How are electromagnets used to make electric power?
Electromagnets are used to make electric power because magnets are a type of electricity,and electro is at the front.

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.
