Question

The energy conversion taking place in an AC generator is

• A. mechanical to electrical
• B. electrical to mechanical
• C. magnetic to electrical
• D. electrical to magnetic

Answer 1

The correct option is A

mechanical to electrical

The explanation for the correct answer:

1. The generation of electrical power requires relative motion between a magnetic field and a conductor.
2. In a generator, mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy.
3. The electricity produced by most generators is in the form of alternating currents.

Hence the correct answer is option (A).
