Question 42

Electromagnetic Induction

The d.c. generator has essentially the same components as the a.c. generator except the presence of

  1. A.slip rings
  2. B.carbon brushes
  3. C.split ring
  4. D.armature
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: C (split ring)

Explanation

A d.c. generator uses a split-ring commutator instead of slip rings, so the output current always flows the same way.
