Second Module (Generation of electric power)

In this  module we will speak about power plants in details . all you need to know about Generation of Electrical power you will learn it in this Module.we will explain the following:

How voltage is produced in a conductor when in the presence of a changing magnetic field?

How three coils of wire in the presence of a changing magnetic field produce three-phase voltage?

How current flowing through a wire produces a magnetic field?

How generator rotors provide the magnetic field for the generation of electricity?

What are the three main components of a generator?

What are the two different ways to connect three generator windings symmetrically?

What are the different types of generation plants ?

What are the different power plant prime-mover types?
