Solution
The device used for producing electric current is called a generator.
Explanation:
- A generator is a device that transforms mechanical energy into electrical energy.
- A galvanometer is a device that detects the existence of electricity in a circuit.
- An ammeter is a device that measures the amount of electric current flowing across a circuit.
- A motor is a piece of machinery that turns electrical energy into mechanical energy.
As a result, the generator is the correct solution.
