The document introduces the electric generator, a device that converts mechanical energy into electricity. It highlights Michael Faraday as the pioneer behind the concept of the electric generator and outlines its key components, including the stator, rotor, commutator, and brush. The importance of electric generators in powering society is emphasized.

A MEANS TO PRODUCE ELECTRICITY

3. Introduction
Before man was able to manipulate with energy,
they had to find different means to produce energy
and to create efficient energy. Enter the creation of
the Electric Generator! A device used to produce
electric energy and is used to power our very own
society

4. What is an electric
generator?
electric generator, also called dynamo, any
machine that converts mechanical energy
to electricity for transmission and
distribution over power lines to domestic,
commercial, and industrial customers

5. Generator
The first person to have ever created an electric generator
is Michael Faraday
From his concept about Faradays Law, he was able to
conceptualize the Idea about making an electric
generator

Generator

7. Parts of an
Electric
Generator
Stator – Stationary and does not
move
Rotor – produces the electromotive
force
Commutator – alternates the
current of the electric
generator/motor
Brush – conducts electricity on the
stationary and moving parts of the
motor/generator
