Open in App
Solution

  1. In an a.c. generator there is a relative motion between the magnetic field and the coil.
  2. For this relative motion we supply mechanical energy to a generator. So, in an a.c. generator mechanical energy converted into electrical energy.
  3. A.C. generator can be easily transformed into higher or lower voltages.

Hence, an a.c. generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
