Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a generator, what is the role of the rotating coil in a magnetic field?
  • Step 1: A generator has a coil of wire that can rotate.
  • Step 2: The coil is placed in a magnetic field, which is created by magnets.
  • Step 3: When the coil rotates, it moves through the magnetic field.
  • Step 4: This movement causes electrons in the wire to move, creating an electric current.
  • Step 5: The process of moving the coil in the magnetic field is called electromagnetic induction.
  • Step 6: The generator converts mechanical energy (from the rotation) into electrical energy (the current).
