Question 5 • Physics

How does an electric generator work?

Answer
A
The armature rotates the axle in the magnetic field of a permanent magnet, which induces an electric current.
B
The axle rotates the armature in the magnetic field of a permanent magnet, which induces an electric current.
C
The axle rotates the armature in the magnetic field of an electromagnet, which induces an electric current.
D
The armature rotates the axle in the magnetic field of an electromagnet, which induces an electric current.

Explanation

An axle turns the armature, or coil, through a magnetic field. As the coil rotates, the magnetic field through it changes, inducing an electric current. In this choice, the field is produced by a permanent magnet, so A correctly describes the generator.
