The armature of a generator must rotate in order to induce voltage and current. What produces the rotation?
The factor that produces rotation in armature of a generator.
Answer to Problem 9A
Wind, fuel, or water is used to rotate the armature of a generator.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: The induced voltage is produced in a generator where the moving magnetic field is present. It can be described by using Faraday's law of induction.
The rotation of the armature of a generator is done by the external energy of sources. In generator, fuel, water, or wind is used to rotate the armature of a generator.
Conclusion: The external sources of energy like wind, fuel or water is used to rotate the armature of a generator.
