Question 10 • TX-Physics CR

How does an electric generator work?

Answer
A
The axle rotates the armature in the magnetic field of a permanent magnet, which induces an electric current.
B
The armature rotates the axle in the magnetic field of a permanent magnet, which induces an electric current.
C
The axle rotates the armature in the magnetic field of an electromagnet, which induces an electric current.
D
The armature rotates the axle in the magnetic field of an electromagnet, which induces an electric current.

Explanation

An electric generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy by rotating an armature in a magnetic field. The axle turns the armature, and the changing magnetic field through the armature induces an electric current. Thus, choice A correctly describes the process using a permanent magnet.
