Describe the role of a generator in producing electricity.

the generator transforms the mechanical energy of the turbine into electrical energy.

the generator spins the turbine to create mechanical energy.

the generator stores electrical energy for later use in homes and businesses.

the generator reverses the turbine to create electrical energy.

Option (A)

Explanation:

In the process of producing electric energy, always a turbine rotates.

The rotation of turbine is due to the falling water in case of hydroelectric power station, due to the heat energy in thermal power station.

As the turbine rotates, the energy of one form is converted into mechanical energy of turbine. Now the generator converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy. It is done by the electromagnetic induction.

When a magnetic flux linked with a coil changes, the induced emf is developed in the coil, this phenomenon is called electromagnetic induction.

luster is not a good characteristic to use by itself because luster is the property of minerals that indicates how much the surface of a mineral reflects light. the luster of a mineral is affected by the brilliance of the light used to observe the mineral surface.
