Describe a turbine and a generator and explain their uses.
Turbines and generators are both used in the production of electric power, but the turbine converts available energy forms into rotation while the generator converts rotation into electricity. Depending on the type of energy they use, power plants have corresponding types of turbines and use them to power generators.

- Turbine: A turbine is a turbomachine with at least one moving part called a rotor assembly, which is a shaft or drum with blades attached.
- Uses: Turbines are used in wind power, hydropower, in heat engines, and for propulsion. Turbines are extremely important because of the fact that nearly all electricity is generated by them.
- Generator: A generator is a device that converts motive power into electrical power for use in an external circuit.
- Uses: Capturing the power of motion and turning it into electrical energy by forcing electrons from the external source through an electrical circuit. Supply electrical power in the absence of a regular power source and prevent the discontinuity of daily activities.
