Electric generator
In Class 10 Science, the topic Electric Generator introduces how mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy through electromagnetic induction. As part of Magnetic Effects of Electric Current, students study the generator’s coil, magnet, slip rings, brushes, axle, and external circuit, and understand how their arrangement produces an induced current. They learn the working principle, the role of changing magnetic flux, the direction of current, and the difference between alternating-current and direct-current generators, using diagrams and practical examples.

An electric generator is based on which energy conversion?
In a generator, relative motion between a coil and a magnet changes the magnetic flux and induces electric current by electromagnetic induction. Hence, it converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
