Chapter 37, Problem 10A
A motor is characterized by three main ingredients: magnetic field, moving charges, and magnetic force. What are the three main ingredients that characterize a generator?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The main characteristic ingredients of a generator.
Answer to Problem 10A
Magnetic field, magnetic forces, and moving charges are main ingredients of a generator.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: A generator is used to change mechanical energy into electrical energy. It works according to a law of electromagnetic induction.
The character of a generator is characterized by the main ingredients that are magnetic field, magnetic forces, and moving charges.
Conclusion: The main ingredients of a generator are magnetic field, magnetic forces, and moving charges.
