when ac generator is working the current change in to ac to dc when the split ring changes its position how this split ring changes what is the physics behind this?

This should help...a good animation of the slip rings is around the 3:12 mark. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRMZ3K2pzcE

i think its done with the help of carbon brushes i don't know what you meant by conversion of ac to dc. . .

OpenStudy (radar):

The rings are split (unlike AC generator) this arrangement is called a "commutator" and directs the current produced in the same direction through the load, it makes the switch at the point the emf is zero.
