A.C generator can be converted into D.C generator by
Correct answer: B. Split rings
- A. Slip rings
- B. Split rings
- C. Stopper
- D. Cannot be converted
Explanation
AC Generator: An AC generator uses slip rings to connect the rotating armature to the external circuit. The slip rings allow the current to flow through the circuit even as the armature rotates, resulting in an alternating current output.DC Generator: A DC generator uses a commutator (split rings) instead of slip rings. The commutator is designed to reverse the current direction in the external circuit every half-cycle of the armature rotation. This results in a unidirectional (direct) current output.Split Rings: A commutator is made of split rings that are connected to the armature coil. As the armature rotates, the split rings switch contacts with the brushes, reversing the current direction in the external circuit every half-cycle. This process converts the alternating current generated in the armature into a direct current.

About Electromagnetism
Magnetic flux density and magnetic flux describe the strength of a magnetic field and the field passing through a surface. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity and may follow circular or helical motion, depending on the angle between velocity and field.
