Question

When a generator rotates a coil of wire in a magnetic field, which of the following is produced?

Answer 1

an electric current

Answer 2

Yup Electric current

Answer 3

ya elec. current are produced

Answer 4

basically a generator rotates means armature which is the rotors rotate and firstly an alternating current is generated but then there is a part which is called commutator converts this alternating current to direct current (dc) for generator action.
so a DC current is produced

Answer 5

Generator use mechanic energy to convert it into electrical energy in the means of current... AC generator give Alternating current output... With the same principle DC generator give Direct current, with one change we make a Dc generatior... In Ac Generators slip rings are used and in DC generation Split rings are used..... Bassicaly generator is a device whcih convert mechanical energy into electrical energy...

Answer 6

Sir @sidsiddhartha please give a reference of your comment... I am doing masters but i had not seen any where in any book that generator is bassically used to convert AC to DC.

Answer 7

no generators never convert ac to dc what i told is in generator there is a converter which is known as commutator now when u first apply the supply to generator its ac supply then commutator just converts it to a unidirectional dc supply because armature will not rotate when its subjected to an ac supply

Answer 8

go to page 3 in the pdf

Answer 9

yup to start the generator we apply the AC...... but its converted into Dc i was not know that....

Answer 10

and im just doing my bachelor's degree so i should call u sir @IhteshamMalik

Answer 11

:P

Answer 12

You are talking about page number 3.. Q.3. it mean that... the current flows always AC in the armature... and not in DC... Commutators are just used for output... DC current do not flow in the armature at that time.. DC is flowing out.....

Answer 13

Its pretty nice brother... but i think you get this sentence wrong.... Armature rotates when Ac supply is Apllied... please check your last sentence of your 2nd comment..

Answer 14

no ur getting it wrong armature rotates when ac in converted into dc
