what is a generator ?

An electric generator is a machine that convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. The working principle is Faraday 's law of electromagnetic induction ,ie,whenever a conductor cuts magnetic flux an emf is induced in that conductor which will cause a current to flow if the conductor circuit is closed . The essential components of generator are magnetic field and conductor which has to move to cut the flux .  Due to some losses in generator ,the are not 100% efficient .
