Generator ⚡⚡⚡ An electric generator functions by converting mechanical energy into electrical energy through electromagnetic induction. This process involves a rotor, typically a coil of wire, rotating within a magnetic field generated by a stationary component called the stator. As the rotor spins, the changing magnetic field induces an electromotive force (EMF) in the rotor coils, generating an electric current. The generated current is typically an alternating current (AC) due to the continuo
