Ac generater principle working

• An electrical generator is a device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy.
• The generation of alternating currents (ac) is based on the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction.
• Whenever the magnetic flux changes an emf will be induced in the coil.

• AC generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy(alternating currents).
• AC generator is an example of inducing an emf or current in a loop by varying the magnetic field and area vector.

Principle:-

• Current is induced in a loop through a change in its orientation or a change in its effective area.
• Induced emf is produced either by changing θ or by changing the area vector.
• Direction of current is given by Fleming’s right hand rule.
• Direction of the current in the circuit changes by the up and down movement of the loops.
