I have a big test coming up and these two questions i don't understand: Choose the best answer: A device that transforms mechanical energy into electrical energy is a/an _______________________. A.conductor B.electric generator C.circuit D.insulator Choose the best answer: The armature in an electric motor spins continuously because ______________________. A.the current can only go in one direction B.the current reverses every half turn C.the current is weak D.the current gets stuck in the armature Thanks :)

We get electrical energy frm a electrical generator by using patrol

2. Did u c armature in an electrical generator

OpenStudy (shamim):

U hv c armature for clear concept

The first one is B. Electric generator. It is another term for AC generator which transforms M.E to E.E, like what is used in a windmill. The second one is B. The armature spins in the same direction continously because the current reverses in direction at every half turn in one complete spin. Hope you got it!

For answering this question you will have to learn and understand the working of an AC generator
