An electric generator is a device that converts mechanical
energy to electrical energy for use in an external circuit. Sources of
mechanical energy include steam turbines, gas turbines, water turbines,
internal combustion engines and even hand cranks.
The electric generator works on the principle of
electromagnetic induction discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831. Faraday
discovered that the flow of electric charges could be induced by moving an
electrical conductor, such as a wire that contains electric charges, in a
magnetic field. The principle, later called Faraday's law, is that an
electromotive force is generated in an electrical conductor which encircles a
varying magnetic flux.
Electric generators can be as large as giant machines
powering the electricity grid and small enough to be portable for electric
tools, construction lighting and other electrical needs when other power
sources are not available.
