Q
Q: What is the principle behind the operation of an electric generator?
Solution:
Electric generators operate on the principle of electromagnetic induction, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
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.
