Answer: The axle rotates the armature in the magnetic field of a permanent magnet, which induces an electric current.

Explanation:

Hi, the correct option is: The axle rotates the armature in the magnetic field of a permanent magnet, which induces an electric current.

An electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.

In a generator, a rotating electromagnet (armature) spins on a stationary magnetic field (stator) and induces electricity, these types of generators are based on Faraday's Law.
