ohms (Ω). EE: secondary source of energy - must use another energy source to make it. Coal is the number one energy source used for generating electricity. EE: Energy carrier because it is an efficient and safe way to move energy from one place to another. Energy - 9 Making electricity: We use magnets to make electricity. Power plants use huge turbine generators that spin really fast by the use of steam or by the use of wind, or rushing water in a dam. Steam can be produced by various fuel sources such as coal, oil, natural gas, or uranium (nuclear). The turbine is attached to a shaft with coils of wire surrounded by permanent magnets. As the shaft spins, electrons are pushed by the magnetic field. The moving electrons are the electricity that flows to our houses. It moves very fast. In just one second, electricity can travel around the world seven times. Energy Forms - 10
