What is an AC Generator? What is its principle?
Asked by Topperlearning User | 07 Jul, 2015, 01:43: PM
answered-by-expert Expert Answer

A.C. Generator is a machine which produces alternating current energy from mechanical energy. It is based on the phenomena of electromagnetic induction i.e. whenever amount of magnetic flux linked with a coil changes, an e.m.f. is induced in it. And this induced emf is the source of alternating current.
