GENERATORS
Induced Current in a Generator 
The effect of inducing a current in a coil by moving a 
magnet inside it is used for the generation of 
electricity in power plants 
There are TWO TYPES OF GENERATOR. 
Both turn rotational energy into electrical energy. 
1. One type involves rotating a coil inside a magnet. 
2. The other type involves rotating a magnet inside 
a coil 
Both types produce ALTERNATING CURRENT.
An electric generator consists of a: 
• MAGNET- creates a magnetic field, and a 
• LOOP OF WIRE- rotates in the magnetic field 
As the wire rotates in the magnetic field, the changing 
strength of the magnetic field through the wire 
produces a force which drives the electric charges 
around the wire. 
As the loop spins, the direction of the force changes, 
so too then does the direction of the current . 
The changing direction of the force after every 180 
degrees of rotation gives the alternating current.

ALTERNATING CURRENT 
• The rate of oscillation for the sine wave is 60 cycles 
per second. Oscillating power like this is generally 
referred to as AC, or alternating current.

• Large electrical generators happen to 
generate AC , so conversion to DC would 
involve an extra step. 
• It is easy to convert AC to DC but 
expensive to convert DC to AC, so if you 
were going to pick one or the other AC 
would be the better choice.
