generating electricity

When a neutron hits the enriched U-235, energy is released and this heat generated in the reactor is carried away by heavy water or liquid sodium. This energy is used for generating steam in the heat exchanger. The steam thus produced is used by the turbines and these are in tu..

Electric Generator (DC Generator) - The electric generator is a machine for producing electric current. The electric generator or dynamo converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. DC Generator..

Electricity Generation from Wind - The picture shows a seven storey-high 17m wind turbine producing 60 KW of power from a wind with a velocity of 45 km/h. Wind Turbine Wind turbines are used to produce electricity. The machines that generate electricityh..

The electric generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. The two types of generators are DC and AC generators: DC Generators - A cycle dynamo and a car dynamo are examples of DC generators. They produce DC ..

When a straight conductor is moved rapidly in a magnetic field, then a current is induced in the conductor. It is based on the phenomenon of electromagnetic inductio..

Generators are devices that produce electricity by converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. It works on the principle of 'electromagnetic induction' [Electromagnetic Induction is the creation of a voltage or current due to change in magnetic field]. Mo..

Action of sharp points: Charges are leaked from pointed ends of charged conductors. This creates an electric wind (as moving air is ionized) which moves away from the conducto..

>As the armature rotates about an axis perpendicular to the magnetic field, it keeps on changing its relative orientation with respect to the field Thus the flux keeps on changing continuously with time This change in magnetic flux induces an emf If the outer terminals of the armature are connected..

>When the resistances are connected in parallel the reciprocal of the equivalent resistance is equal to the sum of the reciprocals of the individual resistances. The amount of heat generated in a conductor of resistance 'R', when current 'I' flows through it in a given time 't', is given ..
