The device which converts the mechanical energy in to electric energy is
The device which converts the mechanical energy in to electric energy is
- A. D.C. motor
- B. A.C. dynamo
- C. Transformer
- D. starter
Step-by-step solution
A dynamo (or generator) converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. An A.C. dynamo specifically produces alternating current, which is the conversion of mechanical input into electrical output. In contrast, a D.C. motor converts electrical energy to mechanical energy, a transformer changes voltage levels without converting energy forms, and a starter is used to initiate engine operation.
