The process of cutting lines of magnetic flux with a conductor, and generating voltage, is the basisi of alternator and generator operation. True / False.

True

Explanation:

Alternators and generators are devices which convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, they consist of a magnet and a conductor wound about an iron called a core. When the conductor cuts across the lines of flux of the magnet an electromotive force is induced thereby generating current, either the conductor or the magnet has to be moving for this to happen and when the direction of motion changes the direction of electromotive force also changes.
