In an AC generator an armature is rotated in a magnetic field. This induces an electric current in the armature.
if you want more look on the bottom.
As the crank turns the armature rotates in the magnetic field. One side of the armature moves up, and the other side moves down. The up and down motion induces a current in the wire. The current is in opposite directions on two sides of the armature. After the armature turns halfway, each side of it reverses direction in the magnetic field. The side that moved up moves down, vice versa. The current is induced. As the Armature turns, slip rings turn with it. They are attached to the ends of the armature. As they turn, they make contact with the brushes. The brushes can be connected to the rest of the circuit. In this way, a generator becomes energy source.

Alternating current is produced by battery or generators?
A generator produces alternating current.
What energy is made by a generator?
Depending on the type of generator: Electricity in the form of direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC) is produced.
Does 1996 Dodge Ram have generator or alternator?
It is technically an alternating current generator.It is technically an alternating current generator.
Does a generator produce direct current or alternating current?
A generator produces an alternating current, still it gives d.c. output because we use slip-rings at the terminals of actual output of generator.
What is alternating current normally produced by?
Alternating current is normally produced by rotating the magnet in the coil of an induced alternating voltage. When connected to a circuit, an alternating current will flow.
What is an ac and DC generator?
An a.c. generator produces alternating current, whereas a d.c. generator produces direct current.
What converts direct current to alternating current?
To convert direct current to alternating current you need either an inverter or a motor-generator set.
What supplies alternating current?
An alternator (a.c. generator).
What condition will sinusoidal voltage be generated in a coil of wire that rotates in a magnetic field?
a generator or alternator,if the magnetic is permanent the current produced from the coil will be alternating current ac.
A current that moves back and forth is?
Possibly, you are thinking of Alternating Current?
Alternating current is produced by?
Dynamo
What is alternating current produced by?
