The object in this diagram is using coils of wire and magnets toconvert mechanical energy into electrical energy. This meansthat it isa motora turbinean electromagneta generator

The objet uses soils of wire and magnets. it transforms mechanical energy into electrical energy.

- The motor will not be the answer since it transforms electrical energy (in the case of an electric motor) into mechanical (The opposite of the object we are looking for).

- A turbine is similar, transforming the energy of the fuel or the gas into mechanical energy. Additionally it does not use coils of wire, nor magnets.

- An electromagnet uses coils of wire and recieves electrical energy, however it does not transform it into mechanical energy, nor recieves it.

The answer is the last option: a generator. It recieves mechanical energy to a shaft, which rotates. This rotation promotes the interaction between the coil and the magnets and generates electrical energy.
