Machine-Generator

Wednesday, 10 April 2013
Generator is a great invention.Normally machine can be a machine or a motor. In this section we will learn about a generator. Actually a generator is a electronic device which is used to convert mechanical energy into  electrical energy.
How does it actually do?
The answer to the question is when a conductor is placed between a strong magnetic fields and when it is rotating (i.e when applied mechanical force ),the conductor cuts the flux lines(magnetic lines of force between two poles) an EMF(electro motive force or simply voltage)will be induced into the conductor. With this the electrons travel causing an electric current.In this way mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy
