MCQ
An $AC$ generator is a device which converts:
- AElectrical energy to mechanical energy.
- BHeat energy to electrical energy.
- CHeat energy to light energy.
- ✓Mechanical energy to electrical energy.
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
Mechanical energy to electrical energy.
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.
