A device that transforms mechanical energy to electrical energy is a
A
generator
B
motor
C
transformer
D
magnet
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Dynamo or generators produces electric current based on the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction. It converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -An electric generator is a device that transforms mechanical energy into electrical energy. A generator uses motion in a magnetic field to produce current.

Detailed explanation-3: -The force of the fluid on the blades spins/rotates the rotor shaft of a generator. The generator, in turn, converts the mechanical (kinetic) energy of the rotor to electrical energy. Different types of turbines include steam turbines, combustion (gas) turbines, hydroelectric turbines, and wind turbines.
