Who invented the dynamo (electrical generator)?
A
George Stepheson
B
James Hargreaves
C
Michael Faraday
D
Richard Arkwright
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Faraday created the first transformer in August 1831. A few months later he designed and made this simple piece of apparatus based on his ring, developing the first-ever electric generator.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dynamo is the original name of Electric generator. Michael Faraday showed that one way of inducing the current was to move the electric conductor while the magnetic source stood still, which was the principle behind his disk dynamo.

Detailed explanation-3: -The fundamental principles of electricity generation were discovered in the 1820s and early 1830s by British scientist Michael Faraday. His method, still used today, is for electricity to be generated by the movement of a loop of wire, or Faraday disc, between the poles of a magnet.

Detailed explanation-4: -The first homopolar generator was developed by Michael Faraday during his experiments in 1831. It is frequently called the Faraday disc or Faraday wheel in his honor. It was the beginning of modern dynamos-that is, electrical generators which operate using a magnetic field.

Detailed explanation-5: -First dynamos The first commutated dynamo was built in 1832 by Hippolyte Pixii, a French instrument maker. It used a permanent magnet which was rotated by a crank. The spinning magnet was positioned so that its north and south poles passed by a piece of iron wrapped with insulated wire.

Detailed explanation-6: -The first electromagnetic generator, the Faraday disk, was invented in 1831 by British scientist Michael Faraday. Generators provide nearly all of the power for electric power grids.
