It is commonly used to produce electricity in power plants or in portable devices such as portable generators. Generators work on the principle of electromagnetic induction, where a magnetic field is created by rotating a coil of wire inside a magnetic field. This motion induces an electric current in the wire, producing electricity. Generators come in various sizes and types, including fossil fuel-powered generators, renewable energy generators, and backup generators. They are crucial in providing electricity for various applications, from powering homes and industries to supplying emergency power during blackouts. The Wikipedia page on electric generators provides a comprehensive overview of their history, working principles, types, applications, and various other aspects related to electric generators.
