D)magnet.
E)none of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A generator is a device that converts mechanical energy (such as movement) into electrical energy. A motor, on the other hand, converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Transformers do not directly convert energy from one form to another; they change the voltage and current levels of alternating current (AC) power. Magnets can be part of generators, but they do not in and of themselves transform mechanical energy into electrical energy.
