HOW DOES A SIMPLE GENERATOR WORK
When the coil (armature) rotates within the magnetic field,
it cuts through the magnetic lines of flux. According to
Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, an
electromotive force (EMF) is induced in the coil when there
is a change in magnetic flux. This induced EMF creates a
flow of current in the coil. The current produced in the coil
is then transferred to an external circuit through the slip
rings and brushes. The external circuit, known as the load,
uses the electrical energy for various applications.
