	[[Power plant]]s are the most commonly used [[energy conversion technology]] to create electricity from primary energy. Common types of power plants include [[coal-fired power plant\|coal]], [[nuclear power plant\|nuclear]], and [[hydroelectric facility\|hydro]]. While it is possible to have both [[AC electrical generation]] and [[DC generation\|DC electrical generation]], almost all electricity that is produced with a [[generator]] is [[alternating current]]. Motion ([[kinetic energy]]) is converted into the [[electric field\|electric]] and [[magnetic field]]s that create an [[electromotive force]], which makes current flow in a [[wire]]. This electricity usually travels through the [[electrical grid]] allowing some [[electrical device]] to use the energy in the [[electron]]s and then send the electrons back. This is what is meant by an [[electric circuit]], the electrons must be capable of making the round trip.
