Generator

Generator
It is a device which converts mechanical energy to electrical energy
Equipment's of Generator
Rotor
Stator
Slip ring
Carbon brush
Working Principle
When a magnetic flux cut a conductor than an electromotive force
(emf) is induced according to Faradays laws of electromagnetic
induction.
This e.m.f. causes a current to flow if the conductor circuit is
closed.
