Generators

He is the first person to create a generator in 1831 using electromagnetic induction.

• Hans Christian Oersted

• André-Marie Ampère

• Michael Faraday

• Hippolyte Pixii

He built one of the first dynamos - the first practical electric generators - in 1832

• Hippolyte Pixii

• Charles Wheatstone

• Werner Von Siemens

• Samuel Alfred Varley

He invented the Ferranti- Thompson Alternator in 1882 which is known today as ¡“Alternators” - alternating current generators.

• Michael Faraday

• André-Marie Ampère

• Hans Christian Oersted

• Sebastian Ziani de Ferranti

How Do Generators Induce Electric Current?

• by putting some water into the conductor

• by moving a magnet into and out of a stationary coil of wire

• by letting the electron jump from atom to atom

• by using the conventional current

By looking at the illustration what hand rule can we use for electric generators?

• The Left-hand rule

• The Right-hand rule

• Both hand rule

• No hand rule applied at all

Current produced alternates back and forth also called alternators.

• DC Generator

• AC Generators

• Generators

• Motors

A rotating loop inside the stationary magnet. This is an example of?

• DC generator

• AC generator

• electricity

• magnetism

This type of current cannot travel for a very long distance for it loses electric power.

• alternating current

• conventional current

• direct current

• electric current

The electrons in this current keep changing its direction - backward and forward.

• direct current

• conventional current

• alternating current

• electric current

What best describes the picture?

• By moving the coil of wire near a stationary magnet

• By putting some water into the conductor

• By moving a magnet into and out of a stationary coil of wire

• by letting the electrons jump from atom to atom
