most electric power plant are based on which principle
Answers
Answer:
Electrical power generation is based on Faraday's law of mutual electromagnetic induction: in an electrical circuit moving (for example rotating) so that it cuts magnetic lines of force, an electromotive force (emf) is generated that is proportional to the rate at which unit lines of force are cut.
Answer:
Electricity generation is the process of generating electric power from sources of primary energy. For electric utilities in the electric power industry, it is the first stage in the delivery of electricity to end-users, the other stages being transmission, distribution, energy storage, and recovery, using the pumped-storage method.
A characteristic of electricity is that it is not primary energy freely present in nature in remarkable amounts and it must be produced. Production is carried out in power stations (also called "power plants"). Electricity is most often generated at a power plant by electromechanical generators, primarily driven by heat engines fueled by combustion or nuclear fission but also by other means such as the kinetic energy of flowing water and wind. Other energy sources include solar photovoltaics and geothermal power.
