- In modern life, energy is essential for various needs and is used in forms like mechanical, heat, chemical, and electrical energy.
- Electrical energy is mainly generated using the principle of electromagnetic induction, discovered by Michael Faraday.
- A potential difference is generated when there is a change in the magnetic field around a conductor, either by moving the magnet or the conductor.
- Electric generators convert mechanical energy into electricity, and turbines are used to rotate the magnets inside the generator.
- The type of energy source used to drive the turbine (e.g., water, steam, wind) determines the type of power station and turbine design.
