Question
hello sir

i want to know that how the electricity should be generated by wind turbine.i want to that what is in the generator which generate leectricity.
is there magnate ?is there iorn role which move and generate electricity?

Answer
Electricity from wind turbines is generated by the wind blowing over the turbine's blades spining a magnet (called a rotor) within a coil of wire (called the stator).  The magnet spining within the coil of wire causes electrons to flow. So a wind turbine works by converting solar energy (wind) to mechanical energy (spinning of the turbines blade) to electrical energy (the flow of electrons).
