Electrical Generator Simulation

This interactive 3D simulation demonstrates how an electrical generator works. The simulation includes:

• An electrical generator with adjustable rotation speed and magnetic strength
• A resistor with adjustable resistance
• An LED that lights up based on the current in the circuit
• Real-time calculations of voltage, current, and power

How It Works

An electrical generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy through electromagnetic induction. When a conductor (like a wire) moves through a magnetic field, a voltage is induced in the conductor.

In this simulation:

1. The rotation of the generator's armature represents mechanical energy input
2. The magnetic strength represents the strength of the magnetic field
3. The product of rotation speed and magnetic strength determines the voltage generated
4. The generated voltage drives current through the circuit according to Ohm's Law (V = IR)
5. The LED brightness is proportional to the current flowing through it

Controls

• Rotation Speed: Adjust how fast the generator's armature rotates
• Magnetic Strength: Adjust the strength of the magnetic field in the generator
• Resistance: Adjust the resistance in the circuit
• Power: Toggle the circuit on/off
• View: Switch between circuit view and 3D view

Physics

• Generated Voltage (V) = Rotation Speed × Magnetic Strength × Constant
• Current (I) = Voltage (V) / Resistance (R)
• Power (P) = Voltage (V) × Current (I)
