Solution

Explanation: 2 Marks

Electric Generator works on the principle of electromagnetic induction which obeys Fleming’s Right Hand Rule. When coil is moved inside a magnetic field, the strength of field at the location of the arms of coil changes due to change of distance from the magnets and a current is induced in the coil. The electric current is thus generated by electric generator.
