Identify the principle behind the working of an a.c. generator. Correct Answer Electromagnetic induction

The working of an a.c. generator is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. When a coil is rotated about an axis perpendicular to the direction of the uniform magnetic field, an induced emf is produced across it and hence current is set up in it.
