Answer: generator.
- A generator
- B resistor
- C capacitor
- D transistor
Correct answer: A. generator
Explanation: An electric generator converts mechanical energy to electrical energy by induction.
As a magnet approaches a coil, flux rises steadily and a constant non-zero EMF is induced (Faraday's law). Once the magnet stops moving, flux stays constant and the induced EMF drops to zero - EMF only exists while flux is actively changing.
Concept context
Faraday's and Lenz's laws, motional EMF, self/mutual inductance, eddy currents, and the AC generator - how a changing magnetic flux creates an electric current.
