The function of _____ is to regulate the electric current in an AC generator without the loss of any electric power.
an inductor
Inductors store their energy in the form of magnetic field that is created when a voltage is applied across their terminals. They are used in AC circuits to regulate current. This is done by the inductor by generating an induced emf which opposes the change in current. Unlike resistors and capacitors, inductors do not cause power loss. So, they are used to regulate the electric current in an AC generator without any loss of electric power.
