Q: Electric generators convert what type of energy to electric energy?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

Electric generators convert mechanical energy to electric energy. The generator consists of some number of wire loops wrapped around an iron core and placed in a strong magnetic field. The loops of wire and the iron core are called the armature . The armature is mounted so that it can rotate freely inside the magnetic field. Mechanical energy is used to spin the armature in the field so that the wire loops cut across the field and produce electric current. The of this current is calculated by .

 Choices:

- electromagnetic energy

- thermodynamic energy

- fluid energy

- mechanical energy


A:
mechanical energy
