MCQ
An AC generator is a device which converts:
- AElectrical energy to mechanical energy.
- BHeat energy to electrical energy.
- CHeat energy to light energy.
- DMechanical energy to electrical energy.
✓
Answer
- Mechanical energy to electrical energy.
Explanation:
An AC generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, while a motor does the opposite - it converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Both devices work because of electromagnetic induction, which is when a voltage is induced by a changing magnetic field.
