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.
Answer:
Lorsque l'on détend l'air son volume augmente et sa pression diminue. L'air qui est un mélange de gaz est compressible et expansible. – Lorsque l'on comprime l'air, son volume diminue et sa pression augmente. – Lorsque l'on détend l'air, son volume augmente et sa pression diminue.
Answer:
4m/s^2
Explanation:
mass(m)=20 kg
force=80 N
acceleration (a)=?
Therefore,
Force = mass * acceleration
80 = 20*a
a=80/20
=4m/s^2
Answer:
A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power.
Explanation:
The power of an object is given by :
Here,
E is the energy required
t is time
The SI unit of power is Watts and the SI unit of energy is Joule. the commercial unit of energy is kilowatt per hour.
Option (1) : A kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of power is incorrect.
Option (2) : A gigawatt (GW) is a unit of energy is incorrect.
Option (3) : A watt (W) is a unit of energy is incorrect.
Option (4) : A kilowatt x hour per year (kWh/yr) is a unit of energy is incorrect.
Option (4) : A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power is correct.
Hence, the correct option is (d).
