Generator:
Cut section and armature winding diagram of Generator.
AC generator – AC generators are also known as alternators that convert mechanical energy into electrical energy in the form of alternating current. Kilo volt-amperes is the unit used for rating the AC generators.
DC generator – A DC generator is used for converting mechanical energy onto direct current electricity.
The explanation for the incorrect options:
In the case of option A.
Ammeter :
In the case of option C.
Galvanometer:
In the case of option D.
Motor:
Thus, the generator converts electrical energy into mechanical energy and it is used to generate electrical current.
Hence, the correct option is option B.
