an electric generator moves a magnet near a coil of wire to produce an electric current. describe the energy
transformation in an electric generator.
a
it transforms kinetic energy into electrical energy.
b
it transforms electrical energy into kinetic energy.
c
it transforms potential energy into electrical energy.
d
it transforms electrical energy into potential energy.

Explanation:

An electric generator operates based on electromagnetic induction. When a magnet is moved near a coil of wire (kinetic energy as there is motion), it induces an electric current (electrical energy). So, it transforms kinetic energy into electrical energy.

Answer:

A. It transforms kinetic energy into electrical energy.
