Question

The device which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy is called a/an _____.

  1. Electric motor
  2. Electric generator
  3. Transformer
  4. Inverter

hintHint:

Generators are devices that convert mechanical energy into electrical energy.

The correct answer is: Electric generator


    The device which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy is called an electric generator.
    • The mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy in electrical generators.
    • The emf is produced in the generators due to the relative motion of the internal magnetic field and the coil.
    • This induces the current flow.
