1 III. Producing Electric Current
Ch Magnetism III. Producing Electric Current (p ) Electromagnetic Induction Electric Generator DC & AC Transformer 1

2 A. Electromagnetic Induction
producing a current by moving a wire through a magnetic field Dynamic Microphone Coil

3 B. Electric Generator Electric Generator
mechanical energy  electrical energy a device that produces electric current by rotating a coil of wire in a magnetic field GENERATOR MOTOR

4 C. DC & AC Direct Current (DC) current flows in one direction
dry cells Alternating Current (AC) current reverses its direction at regular intervals electrical outlets

5 D. Transformer Transformer
increases or decreases Alternating Current voltage

6 D. Transformer Step-up Transformer Step-down Transformer
increases the voltage more turns power plants Step-down Transformer decreases the voltage fewer turns household appliances (hairdryers, etc.)
