A D.C. generator can be considered as____________?
Correct answer: C. rotating amplifier
- A. rectifier
- B. primemover
- C. rotating amplifier
- D. power pump
Explanation
A D.C. generator is called a rotating amplifier because a relatively small change in field power can control a much larger armature output. A rectifier converts A.C. to D.C., whereas a generator is driven by a prime mover.
