The electromagnet is connected with a rotors and rotor is connected to turbine. When turbine is moved then rotor rotates along with electromagnet. Thus, the coil wound around the soft iron crosses the magnetic lines of force and emf is induced so that current is produced.
Electric generators work on the principle of electromagnetic induction. A conductor coil (a copper coil tightly wound onto a metal core) is rotated rapidly between the poles of a horseshoe type magnet.The magnetic field will interfere with the electrons in the conductor to induce a flow of electric current inside it.
An electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy obtained from an external source into electrical energy as the output. ... Instead, it uses the mechanical energy supplied to it to force the movement of electric charges present in the wire of its windings through an external electric circuit.Generators don't actually create electricity. Instead, they convert mechanical or chemical energy into electrical energy. They do this by capturing the power of motion and turning it into electrical energy by forcing electrons from the external source through an electrical circuit.There are two fundamental types of generators known as AC (alternating current) and DC (direct current) generators. While the technique of producing electricity is the same in both types, AC and DC power become different in terms of their applications – the way in which loads receive electric power.
