Question
Describe briefly, with the help of a labelled diagram, the basic elements of an A.C. generator.
Solution
Basic elements of an A.C. generator
An A.C. generator consists of a rotor shaft on which a coil is mounted. A magnetic field is created around an armature coil with the help of permanent magnets.
The terminals of the coil are connected to two slip rings. Carbon brushes are attached to slip rings so as to make connection with an external circuit.
