The device used for producing current is called .................................
Show Hint
Remember that devices like generators produce current by converting mechanical energy, while voltmeters, ammeters, and galvanometers are used for measuring electrical quantities.
A generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, thereby producing an electric current. This is in contrast to the other devices listed:
- A voltmeter measures the potential difference (voltage) across two points.
- An ammeter measures the current flowing through a circuit.
- A galvanometer detects small currents, typically for indicating presence or magnitude of current.
