attracted to the magnet. attracted to the magnet.

• Example: iron, nickel and • Example: aluminum, plastic
cobalt. and wood.

Generator:

❖ Structure:

-Large magnets

-Coiled wires
❖ Function:
It changes mechanical energy into electrical energy used in lighting houses

and operating electrical devices.
How does a generator work?

When large magnets spin at a high speed, the spinning magnets create electrical
charges on the coiled wires, so electricity is produced.

There are different forces that can be used to make the magnet spin:

Water in dams Winds Sources of fuel as
oil and coal
Used to operate water Used to operate wind
turbines causing the turbines causing the Used to make water boil
producing steam which
magnets in the magnets in the causes the magnet in
