Transcription: An electric generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. An AC generator produces alternating current that keeps reversing its direction of flow. An armature consisting of coils of wire wrapped around an iron core is rotated in a static magnetic field. The movement of the coil through the field causes an electric to flow in the wires. The wires are connected to slip rings. Brushes contact the slip rings and carry the electricity from the generator. When wires in the coil cut through the magnetic field between the poles of the magnet, current is induced in the wire. When the coi ...
