How an Electric Generator Works and what Parts It Consists of

An electric generator is basically an electric motor working backwards. An electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, and an electric generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. An electric generator looks almost identical to an electric motor. Each consists of a loop that is able to rotate in a magnetic field. The electric motor uses electrical energy to make the loops rotate which creates mechanical energy. In the electric generator it uses mechanical energy to make the loops spin resulting in the creation of electric current within the loop.
