movement and interaction of electrons

a machine by which mechanical energy is

changed into electrical energy

pressure and usually made with a series of curved vanes on a central rotating spindle

one that transforms; specifically : a device

employing the principle of mutual induction to convert

variations of current in a primary circuit into variations

of voltage and current in a secondary circuit
