are used in making electric generators and electric motors.

  • A. electric current
  • B. magnetes
  • C. cables
  • D. all

Step-by-step solution

Electric generators and motors both rely on magnets to produce or utilize magnetic fields. Generators convert mechanical energy to electrical energy using magnetic fields, and motors convert electrical energy to mechanical energy using magnetic fields. While electric current and cables are involved, they are not the defining components; magnets are essential for operation.
