Question

The device used for producing electric current is called a :

• A. generator.
• B. galvanometer.
• C. ammeter.
• D. motor.

Answer 1

The correct option is A generator.

Generator is an electromechanical device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. It uses the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction with the help of turbines. External mechanical energy is used to rotate the turbines which changes the magnetic flux through the coil. This results in the production of an emf and induced currents.
