Solution
The correct option is C Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction An electric generator or dynamo is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. The simplest practical generator consists of a rectangular coil rotating in a uniform magnetic field. The magnetic field is usually supplied by a permanent horse-shoe magnet and the coil is connected to the circuit via slip rings. The device is based on the principle of Faraday's Law of electromagnetic induction.
