Question

Electric generators can produce

  1. Only AC current
  2. Only DC current
  3. Both AC and DC current
  4. No current

hintHint:

The electrical generators can produce both AC and DC currents.

The correct answer is: Both AC and DC current


    The electrical generators can produce both AC and DC currents.
    • The electric generators can produce both AC and DC currents.
    • An AC generator is used to power smaller electrical items such as coffee machines, computers, etc. while a DC generator is used to power larger electric motors.
    • The AC generators use slip rings whereas the DC generators use split rings.
    • The direction of current induction in both AC and DC can be related to Fleming's right-hand rule.
    • In an AC generator, the electrical current reverses direction periodically while in a DC generator, the electrical current flows only in one direction. I
    An AC generator is used to power smaller electrical items in your business – such as coffee machines, computers, etc.
     On the other hand, a DC generator is used to power larger electric motors, even as big as those used in subway systems.
