\nAn electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. It works on the principle of electromagnetic induction, where relative motion between a conductor and a magnetic field induces an electric current.
\n<\/section>\n
\nGenerators transform mechanical work (like rotation) into electrical output.
\nElectric motors perform the opposite function, converting electrical energy into mechanical energy.
\n<\/section>\n
\nExamples of mechanical energy sources for generators include turbines driven by steam, water, wind, or internal combustion engines. The induced voltage and current can then be used to power electrical devices.
