How is electricity generated and then transfered to a wire? If you say a generator then please explain how.?

Question

First off, this is not a homework question. Second, I understand that Bark. But how does the generator create that difference? What does the generator doing? I did not ask if the their were electrons in a wire. You can have electrons in a wire and yet get no energy from it.

Answer 1

Ok, a generator makes use of magnetism to create electricity. If you pass a wire through a magnetic field, there is an electrical current created in the wire. If you make a large coil of wire and pass it through a very large magnetic field, you get a very large current comming out the other end.

So, we usually burn a fossil fuel (coal, oil, or gas) to turn a turbine which turns the generator to create electricity. One of the first major projects to demonstrate this was built by Tesla when he built the generators for Niagra Falls. There, they use the pressure differential between the top and the bottom of the falls to turn turbines which turn generators to create electricity.

Answer 2

A moving electric charge (aka electricity) is induced to flow in a wire by a moving or changing magnetic field close to the wire.
The voltage induced is proportional to the speed of change of the magnetism.
A generator is a device designed to do this continuously.
The electricity takes the path of least resistance from the negatively charged areas to the positively charged areas.
Touching, clamping, soldering or welding the wires together provides this path.

Answer 3

how about you do your own damn homework!
