In order to generate an electric current, a magnet is moved near copper, usually copper wires. Because of the magnetic field affecting the copper, an electric current is formed due to the electrons moving in the copper.
The amount of current produced in the armature of a generator is primarily determined by the voltage induced in the armature winding, the resistance of the circuit, and the load connected to the generator. According to Ohm's Law, current (I) is equal to voltage (V) divided by resistance (R) (I = V/R). Additionally, factors such as the speed of rotation of the generator, the strength of the magnetic field, and the number of turns in the coil also influence the induced voltage and, consequently, the current generated.
An a.c. generator produces alternating current, whereas a d.c. generator produces direct current.
A synchronized generator, often referred to as a synchronous generator, operates by maintaining a constant speed that matches the frequency of the electrical grid it supplies. It uses a rotating magnetic field produced by direct current in the rotor, which interacts with the stator windings to generate alternating current (AC). The generator's synchronous speed is determined by the frequency of the AC system and the number of poles in the generator. This synchronization ensures that the generator can efficiently produce power and maintain stability within the electrical grid.
Faraday's law : If a "conductor" is placed in a "magnetic field" the movement in either conductor or field produces an induced emf in the conductor. In generator the produced torque will be in AC(alternating current) so commutator or slip rings is used to produce unidirectional torque required for production of Direct Current. Basically by Faraday law the produced torque will be always bidirectional, for alternator the bidirectional torque can be used directly. for DC generator the unidirectional torque is needed to produce Direct Current.
When the loop of wire in an AC generator rotates halfway, it experiences a change in magnetic flux through the loop. This change induces an electromotive force (EMF) according to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, causing an alternating current (AC) to flow. As the loop continues to rotate, the direction of the induced current reverses, resulting in the characteristic alternating nature of the current produced by the generator.

The process in which electric current is produced when a spinning shaft rotates magnets inside a generator is referred to as 'Direct Current'. It is not expected to work by the normal standard physics model however some people claim it is just.
The voltage produced by a generator alternates because the motion of the rotor within the magnetic field causes changes in the direction of the current flow, resulting in a fluctuating voltage output.
The amount of current produced in the armature of a generator is primarily determined by the voltage induced in the armature winding, the resistance of the circuit, and the load connected to the generator. According to Ohm's Law, current (I) is equal to voltage (V) divided by resistance (R) (I = V/R). Additionally, factors such as the speed of rotation of the generator, the strength of the magnetic field, and the number of turns in the coil also influence the induced voltage and, consequently, the current generated.
A generator produces electrical energy through the conversion of mechanical energy, typically created by a turbine being turned by flowing water, steam, wind, or combustion of fuel. This mechanical energy is transformed into electrical energy through electromagnetic induction.
A DC waveform is produced from the output terminals of a DC generator through the action of a commutator, which converts the alternating current induced in the armature windings into direct current by reversing the direction of current flow at the appropriate times. As the armature rotates within the magnetic field, the commutator ensures that the output current remains unidirectional, resulting in a DC waveform at the generator terminals.
To increase the amount of electric current produced by a generator, you can increase the rotational speed of the generator, increase the strength of the magnetic field within the generator, or increase the number of turns in the generator coils. These methods will result in a higher induced voltage and therefore a higher electric current output.
