Question

How does an electrostatic generator operate?

Answer 1

an electrostatic generator (also known as a Van de Graff generator) uses a moving belt, like a conveyor belt to make an electrical charge inside of a hollow metal globe supported by a rod. It produces very high DC or direct current.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

An electric generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. It is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. A conductor is made to rotate between two magnets. The magnetic field around a conductor changes which induces emf and current is generated. The amount of emf produced depends on the rate of change of magnetic field.
