Why Generators Never Run Out of Electrons?

The invention of electricity is a milestone in the progress and development of human society. Social progress and development are increasingly dependent on electricity, and without it, our work and daily lives would be severely impacted. However, many people do not understand its true principles. Today, Dingbo Power Generator Manufacturer will popularize knowledge about why generators never run out of electrons.

Typically, when an appropriate current passes through an electrical appliance, the appliance can work normally. So what is electric current? Dingbo Power Generator Manufacturer tells you: Generator current refers to the regular directional movement of free electrons in a conductor. That is, the generator continuously sends out electrons and delivers them to thousands of households. Then the question arises: Current is generated by the movement of electrons, so why do the electrons in a generator never run out?

The direction of current has always been artificially defined based on known phenomena, and the actual direction of current defined is opposite to the direction of electron motion, because in the era when electricity was first discovered, scientists' understanding of the microscopic world was still unknown to the existence of electrons. It was not until the discovery of electrons that it was realized to be incorrect, but due to the deeply ingrained concept of electric current, this error is also irrelevant, so the concept of electric current has been used to this day.

When a generator is operating, its metal coils cut through magnetic lines of force, generating negative electricity at one end and positive electricity at the other. A closed circuit is formed between the two ends of the coil, and free electrons move directionally within this circuit, thereby forming an electric current. We can simply understand it as electrons starting from the negative pole of the generator and returning through the positive pole. This means that the flow of electrons is a cycle, and electrons are not consumed in this process.

So what do we consume when we use electricity in our daily lives? In fact, our application of electricity mainly utilizes various effects produced when current passes through related electrical appliances, such as thermal effects, electromagnetic effects, and chemical effects. From the perspective of energy conversion, a generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. Electrons are merely carriers of energy, not consumables.

Most of the electricity we usually use is alternating current (AC), which refers to the current whose direction changes periodically with time. Similarly, the current of alternating current must form in a closed circuit, except that the electrons in this circuit move forward and backward alternately. Therefore, electrons are not consumed in this process either.

It is worth mentioning that the electricity generated by generators in power plants undergoes several stages of voltage transformation by transformers before finally reaching thousands of households. These transformers are insulated from each other, and energy conversion between them is achieved through specific electromagnetic induction. Each transformer is a closed circuit, and all electrons in these circuits are in cyclic motion. Since there is no consumption, they will never be used up.
