Celectromagnetic induction

Dforce on a current carrying conductor

Answer:

An AC generator operates based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, where a changing magnetic field induces an electric current.
When the armature rotates between the magnet's poles upon an axis perpendicular to the magnetic field, the flux linkage of the armature changes continuously.
Due to this, an emf is induced in the armature.
