How Things Work : How Is Electricity Generated?

Electricity is generated by introducing conducting wire, usually copper or aluminum, to a magnetic field. Learn more about how electricity is generated from a math and science teacher in this free video on electricity.

@anidujjudina12345 Yeah I do have a problem with that... I apologize.

My only defense is I just got off climate change denier blogs where ignorance is infuriating and I've let it bleed into other more altruistic endeavors.

I'll try and be more careful my fury isn't bestowed upon people who don't deserve it.

Ta.

@bernzeppi weldone however something that takes longer to lear is how yo humble yourseelf and not to look down on other people :)

@livedandletdie taking things a little personally?

This must be aimed at primary school kiddies.

I built my first radio transmitter (amongst other things) at 13.

@COOLVIDEOWATCHER13 I can't wait until humanity delves down into darkness either ;)

induction of a metal (metal is likely to release electrons) in a magnetic field will create a flow of electrons in the metal (electricity)

thanks for sharing this

0:40 No you're not smarter than me. Smartness is not measured in either IQ or knowledge it's measured in how well you can handle information. Aluminum isn't the name for aluminium in the USA it's still aluminium. They haven't checked their dictionaries yet. And if someone really wanted to know how electricity is generated they should study physics in school. And last but not least electricity is generated by changes of electrons in matter.

@barmyflash In reality Aluminium is a metal with many interesting properties it's diamagnetic which hardly many metals are it can form a superconductor at 1.2Kelvin it has many fun properties and it is highly reactive.
