An electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. It operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction, which was discovered by Michael Faraday. This principle states that when a conductor moves through a magnetic field or when a magnet moves around a conductor, an electric current is induced within the conductor.

The working of an electric generator involves the movement of a conductor through a magnetic field. As the conductor cuts through the magnetic field lines, it generates an electric current. The type of current produced depends on the design of the generator. Alternating current (AC) generators, also known as alternators, produce AC by rotating a coil within a stationary magnetic field. Direct current (DC) generators, on the other hand, use a commutator to convert alternating current into direct current.

An electric generator consists of several main components. The rotor, also called the armature, is the rotating part that generates electricity. The stator is the stationary part that contains the coil. The magnetic field, which is essential for induction, is produced by either permanent magnets or electromagnets. AC generators use slip rings and brushes to help transfer current, whereas DC generators use a commutator to convert AC to DC.

Electric generators have a wide range of applications. They are used in power plants, including hydroelectric, thermal, and wind energy plants, to generate electricity on a large scale. They also serve as backup power sources for homes, hospitals, and businesses during power outages. Additionally, generators are found in automotive alternators and are used in portable power units for outdoor activities and emergency situations.

Thank you. I wish I could go back to university again with you as my physics lecturer. ❤

[SardarYasirAliDahani]

Sir reply to previous question plz let me clearify my doubt with your answer

[diptishcreates]

Sir, I am highly obsessed and overwhelmed watching your videos based on physics and chemistry. I love it!!! I have subscribed your channel because I found it very very helpful further for my board exams. Thank you sir!! I am very blessed that I am getting your guidance ! 🙏🙏🙏

[SudeepAdhikari]

Thank You So Much Sir For Explaining in such a Easy Way ! Always Wait For your Videos Sir ! Tqsm Sir 🙂🥳😇

[QuriousKMT]

Sir can you also do videos on limits, differential equations, integration. I understand your explanations better than others and it's also in class 11&12 so

[shilpamopari]

Sir you are just amazing...hope i knew about it earlier 🌟

[TochiDandison]

Wow this is amazing thank you sir for making education fun 😊😊

Before transmission increases voltage current Will decrease in which rules

[tehreemferoz-bmrk]

Sir I have some questions no 1 is how will we move the straight wire in the magnetic field and what's the relationship between the magnetic field and moving of free electrons. The second question is applying lenz's law do you need some other source of current to just find its direction through a magnet or the current will automatically produced when a bar magnet is coming close to it if yes then how

[shalibhaiyttgamertelugu]

Hatts offf sir for you teaching me clearly tq

[israelsunday]

Thank you so much sir
I really enjoy your videos

[prasanthkumar]

Please explain metals and non metal fully completely

[Badosuh]

Thx. I have some questions but will keep it after for later. I can't find lessons on moment sir 😭😭

[FusionGoliath]

I believe we don't have electric generator though 🤔🤔

[Ams-hlzt]

Sandeep, Please cover Atomic physics before our WASSCE exam 🤲🤲

[muhammadsamimulzahidzahid]

Love ♥️ from 🇵🇰 and really your lectures are very important to me and amazing things 😊 😊 😊 😊
