Question

A generator consists of a rotating wire coil placed in a magnetic field. This process transforms mechanical energy into _________.

Answer 1

It would be electrical

Answer 2

Answer: A generator consists of a rotating wire coil placed in a magnetic field. This process transforms mechanical energy into electrical energy.

Explanation:

Energy can transform from one form to another.

When a rotating wire coil is placed in a magnetic field, electric current flows through the coil. This is due to Faraday's law which states that when a conducting coil is placed in a changing magnetic field, an emf is induced. Electric current flows in the coil.

Mechanical energy of rotation converts to electrical energy.
