A power plant creates electricity using a generator by converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. The generator consists of a coil of wire wrapped around a rotor, which is connected to a steam turbine or a gasoline engine. When the rotor rotates, it creates a magnetic field, and as the magnetic field passes by the coil of wire, it induces an electric current. This current then runs through wires, ultimately providing electrical power that can be transmitted and used by households, businesses, and industries.
