DC generator

An electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy

Basic principle of a DC generator Faradays Law of Electromagnetic Induction


Whenever a conductor is moved in a magnetic field, dynamically induced emf is produced in the conductor when a conductor move in a magnetic field in such a way conductors cuts across a magnetic flux of lines and emf produces in a generator and it is defined by faradays law of electromagnetic induction :emf causes current to flow if the conductor circuit is closed.

Fleming's left-hand rule is used for electric motors, while Fleming's right-hand rule is

used for electric generators.

Lenzs law, in electromagnetism, statement that an induced electric current flows in a direction such that the current opposes the change that induced it.
