Electro Magnets in generators
-Liam Bywater
Introduction: Electromagnets and generators are something that we all use every single day whether you knows this or not they both help you out daily. Without generators, you would not have the power that keeps the lights and appliances in your house running. Without electromagnets, many things such as car brakes, door locks, and generators would not work the way that they do.
Generators are used to create power for the world but did you know that most of this power is created using magnets? My guess would be that you might have known this. Electromagnets in the generator create magnetic fields to create electricity. These electromagnetic generators have coils of wire that are either rotated through magnetic fields or are stationary around a shaft with rotating magnets. These electric magnets are iron or steel wound with wire. When electricity passes through the wire, the metal becomes magnetic and creates a magnetic field. When the electrons in the wires are exposed to changing magnetic fields, they move, creating an electric current in the wires. The wires are connected together, and the electricity eventually leaves the power station and goes on to power homes and factories.
