How does a generator work?
insens350 [35]

An electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy obtained from an external source into electrical energy as the output.

It is important to understand that a generator does not actually ‘create’ electrical energy. 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. This flow of electric charges constitutes the output electric current supplied by the generator. This mechanism can be understood by considering the generator to be analogous to a water pump, which causes the flow of water but does not actually ‘create’ the water flowing through it.

The modern-day generator works on the principle of electromagnetic induction discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831-32. Faraday discovered that the above flow of electric charges could be induced by moving an electrical conductor, such as a wire that contains electric charges, in a magnetic field. This movement creates a voltage difference between the two ends of the wire or electrical conductor, which in turn causes the electric charges to flow, thus generating electric current.

A mass m attached to a horizontal massless spring with spring constant k, is set into simple harmonic motion. its maximum displa
Lesechka [4]
At the point of maximum displacement (a), the elastic potential energy of the spring is maximum:
U_i= \frac{1}{2} ka^2
while the kinetic energy is zero, because at the maximum displacement the mass is stationary, so its velocity is zero:
K_i =0
And the total energy of the system is
E_i = U_i+K= \frac{1}{2}ka^2

Viceversa, when the mass reaches the equilibrium position, the elastic potential energy is zero because the displacement x is zero:
U_f = 0
while the mass is moving at speed v, and therefore the kinetic energy is
K_f =  \frac{1}{2} mv^2
And the total energy is
E_f = U_f + K_f =  \frac{1}{2} mv^2

For the law of conservation of energy, the total energy must be conserved, therefore E_i = E_f. So we  can write
\frac{1}{2} ka^2 =  \frac{1}{2}mv^2
that we can solve to find an expression for v:
v= \sqrt{ \frac{ka^2}{m} }
