An auto driver started an auto rickshaw with the help of pulling a rope. The device used by him to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy is
- multimeter
- transformer
- dynamo
- voltmeter
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
A dynamo is a device used to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy by means of electromagnetic induction. As the auto rickshaw is started by pulling a rope, mechanical energy is used to rotate the dynamo, which generates electrical energy.
Thus, the correct answer is dynamo.
