The wind spins the turbine and this spins the magnets, and the spinning magnets generate an electrical current that flows through the wires. The faster the magnets spin, the more electricity is ...

The cell also has metal strips that conduct the flow of electrons (the electricity that the cell produces) through wires into the house, where it powers electrical appliances. Electrons also flow ...

If electricity flows through a material, the material is said to “conduct” electricity. In this activity, you can use batteries, an aluminum foil wire, and a light bulb from a flashlight to see if ...

Some electricity is made in power stations, where giant magnets spin inside coils of wire. This spinning motion produces an electric current. Power stations use energy from coal, gas, water, wind, or ...

BP Energy Partners led a $65 million investment in Smart Wires in a bet that the provider of power-flow control systems will benefit from utilities’ desperate need to increase grid capacity.
