Here we will see how electricity is generated using different mediums like water, air etc.
HOW ELECTRICITY IS GENERATED
As we know electricity is a type of energy and energy can neither be created nor destroyed but we can convert it from one form of energy to another. Many forms of energy present on earth. For example, wind energy, solar energy, hydro energy etc.
(A hydraulic turbine converts the energy of flowing water into mechanical energy. A hydroelectric generator converts this mechanical energy into electricity. The operation of a generator based upon the principles discovered by Faraday)
We can convert these forms of energy into electrical energy. By using solar panels we can convert solar energy into electrical energy, by using wind turbines we can convert wind energy into electrical energy and then hydro energy (water) from the river by using turbines we can convert it into electrical energy.
