Question 5 The energy produced by a generator can BEST be described as

A thermal

B chemical

C nuclear

D kinetic

E electrical

E electrical

Explanation:

In an electric generator, coil is rotated in a magnetic field. It converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. The amount of electricity generated in a generator is directly proportional to the number of turns of the coil.

A generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, while a motor does the opposite - it converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Both devices work because of electromagnetic induction, which is when a voltage is induced by a changing magnetic field.
