When you are creating a generator what determines how much current is generated?

You don't generate current. You generate voltage, and the amount of current that
leaves the generator is determined by the devices that are designed to run with
that voltage, and draw their operating energy from your generator.
You choose the size of the materials used to construct your generator based on the
maximum amount of current you expect it to be asked to deliver by its users. But
the actual current at any moment will depend on how many people are using it for
their supply, and what kind of appliances they're operating.
If nobody is using power from your generator, or the output cables are disconnected
from it, then you can run it all you want and the current will be zero.
Before you decide on the final design and go out for bids to construct your generating
station, you might like to review the topics of voltage, current, power, and energy, and
get them straight in your mind.

What does a conductor do in a dc generator?
It is a conductor, it conducts the electric current generated to the load that is being supplied with power.
How many times per second does the alternating current generated at large power generator reverse directions?
120
What type of current flows in stator and rotor winding of a dc shunt generator?
The field winding in the stator is exposed to the full current generated by the rotor's winding.
How is AC current generated?
AC voltage, making AC current available, may be generated in several ways: * AC generator driven by * Steam turbine * Diesel motor * Petrol motor * Water turbine * Inverter from a DC source
What is the governor of a synchronous generator?
The governor of the synchronous generator is the device that controls the torque of the rotor, and thus the frequency of the generated alternating current. This is important if the power plant is directly coupled to a transmission system.
Why are currents changing direction?
Alternating current is generated by a rotating generator which moves in such a way as to produce that kind of current.
What does a conductor do in a dc generator?
It is a conductor, it conducts the electric current generated to the load that is being supplied with power.
Can you generate direct current?
Direct current can be generated by a generator. Generators are not as efficient as alternators ( that generated AC power ). Vehicles use direct current but come equipped with alternators. The AC power is rectified ( changed to DC ) for use.
How many times per second does the alternating current generated at large power generator reverse directions?
120
How do electrical energy generated?
It is usually generated in a generator; read the Wikipedia article on "Generator" for more details. Briefly, this uses the physical principle that if a material is moved through a magnetic field, a voltage is generated. If such a material is a conductor, and appropriately connected, this voltage will cause an electrical current to flow.
Explain how the induction motor gets loaded when the DC generator is loaded?
when the dc generator is loaded current will be drawn from it, therefore a back emf Will be generated, which opposes the motion of a generator, and hence, that opposition loads the three phase generator
What type of current flows in stator and rotor winding of a dc shunt generator?
The field winding in the stator is exposed to the full current generated by the rotor's winding.
Why you perform open circuit characteristics of a dc shunt generator?
to find the relation between emf generated and Field current .....
How current is generated?
AC voltage, making AC current available, may be generated in several ways: * AC generator driven by * Steam turbine * Diesel motor * Petrol motor * Water turbine * Inverter from a DC source
Would you compare generator current to line voltage to determine if your leading or lagging?
It's always the current that determines 'leading' or 'lagging' -i.e. the angle by which the current leads or lags the voltage.
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.
How is AC current generated?
