How is Electricity Made
- Mechanical energy spins turbine
- ⟶ turbine spins shaft
- ⟶ shaft turns wire coils
- ⟶ coils spin in magnetic casing
- ⟶ shaft turns wire coils
- ⟶ turbine spins shaft
- metal in wire ( eg copper) has electrons that jump orbits / valence shells easily
- magnetic field pulls & pushes electrons
- Electricity is the result of electrons moving across atoms
