About This Product
Turning the model in generator mode shows electromagnetic induction producing a current, while supplying power in motor mode shows the reverse conversion. Having both modes on one model helps students see that a motor and a generator work on the same principle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Electric Generator Model also work as a motor?
Yes. It switches between generator mode, which turns motion into electricity, and DC motor mode, which turns electricity into motion.
