hey men first know wat is a turbine.
A turbine is a prime-mover used to provide the mechanical energy required for the generator.
Principle of generators:
whenever a flux linking in a conductor changes there is an emf induced in the conductor.

here the flux is provided initially by a battery or some electrical source and the mechanical energy is provided by the turbine.

If u see the Mechnical energy from the turbine is converted into electrical.
Remember energy can be converted from one form to another.This is the basic law.

You cannot, by definition, power a turbine ( rotary engine in which the kinetic energy of a moving fluid is converted into mechanical energy by causing a bladed rotor to rotate ) using electricity. What you are proposing is using electricity to generate electricity. Unfortunately, any physical system has losses so you can never get out greater than or equal to what you put in.

It's possible but silly. The generated electricity will always be less than the amount of electricity it took to power it, so this is the least efficient way to generate electricity.

This is why steam, wind, or water flow is used to turn electrical turbines.

Strictly speaking, I think that would be called a compressor. They do exist, of course, but we don't use them to directly generate electricity. ; )

yes but that would be stupid because energy in and energy out would be too close to make it cost effective.
