Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the principle behind the operation of an electric generator?
  • Step 1: Understand that an electric generator is a device that produces electricity.
  • Step 2: Learn about electromagnetic induction, which is the process of generating electric current using a magnetic field.
  • Step 3: Know that when a conductor (like a wire) moves through a magnetic field, it creates an electric current.
  • Step 4: Realize that in a generator, mechanical energy (like from a spinning turbine) is used to move the conductor through the magnetic field.
  • Step 5: Conclude that this movement converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy, which is what we use as electricity.
