उत्तर
- The figure shows the construction of an electric generator.
- Principle of electric generator: Electric generator works on the principle of electromagnetic induction. When the coil of the electric generator rotates in a magnetic field, the magnetic field induces a current in this coil. This induced current then flows into the circuit connected to the coil.
- Uses of electric generator are-
- Providing backup energy for emergencies.
- Powering construction sites.
- Powering nuclear reactor plants.
- Providing backup for hospitals and other office buildings
