Identify the principle behind the working of an a.c. generator.(a) Eddy currents(b) Faraday’s law(c) Lenz’s law(d) Electromagnetic inductionThis question was posed to me by my college professor while I was bunking the class.My query is from AC Generator in section Alternating Current of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

Right choice is (d) Electromagnetic induction

The explanation: The working of an a.c. generator is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. When a coil is rotated about an AXIS PERPENDICULAR to the direction of the uniform magnetic field, an INDUCED emf is produced ACROSS it and hence current is set up in it.
