Electric Generator: It is a machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
A diagram to represent an electric generator:
Electromagnetic Induction: It is a process in which a conductor is put in a particular position and magnetic field keeps varying and a conductor.
A diagram to represent electromagnetic induction:
Principle of an electric generator: It works on the principle of electromagnetic induction, in which when a straight conductor moves in a magnetic field, then the current is indeed in the conductor.
In the following diagram, a rectangular coil is made to rotate rapidly in a magnetic field between the poles of a horseshoe-type magnet. When the coil rotates it cuts the magnetic field lines because of which the current is produced in the coil.
