Which type of voltage do generators produce?

Generators are essential components of electric power systems. They contain wire coils placed between the magnets. They produce a/n voltage when they spin between the poles of the magnetic field, or when magnets spin around them.

Answer:

How does electricity produce magnetism?

Step-by-step explanation:

When the electricity is switched on, the electric magnets create powerful magnetic fields. Coils of wire are mounted around the shaft. As the shaft with the magnets rotates, the coils of wire are exposed to changing magnetic fields, and an electric current is generated in the wires.
