Generator
A generator is a device that turns motion into electricity using the science of electromagnetic induction. Inside a generator, coils of wire spin inside a magnetic field (or magnets spin near coils), and this motion causes electrons in the wire to move—creating an electric current. This is how most of the electr...

Transcript
An electric generator is a machine that converts kinetic energy into electrical energy through a process called electromagnetic induction.
Electromagnetic induction happens when a magnetic field moves through a coil of wire, causing electrons in the wire to flow and create an electric current.
Inside a generator, there is a coil of w...
