The essential difference between and AC generator and a DC generator is that…..

A

an AC generator has an electromagnet while a DC generator has permanet magnet.

B

a DC generator will generate a higher voltage

C

an AC generator will generate a higher voltage .

D

an AC generator has slip rings while the DC generator has a commutator .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

An AC generator has slip rings while the DC generator has a commutator.
[Due to the slip rings , the direction of the current produced by an AC generator is reversed at regualar interval of time , while the current produced by a DC generator always flows in one direction].
