Asked in FBISE Physics 2023 — Paper 1 2023

The Component in generator which consumes energy is called:

Correct answer: A. Load

  • A. Load
  • B. Split rings
  • C. Commutator
  • D. Capacitor

Explanation

The component in a generator that consumes energy is called the load. In the context of electrical systems, a load is any device or component that consumes electrical power. This could include appliances like a refrigerator or a television, or components like resistors in a circuit. The energy produced by the generator is used to power these loads. Capacitors, commutators, and split rings are components of a generator, but they do not consume energy in the same way a load does. They have different roles in the operation of a generator. For example, a commutator helps to switch the direction of current in a generator.

About AC Through Resistor, Capacitor and Inductor

Alternating current through a resistor, capacitor and inductor involves phase relationships between voltage and current, reactance, impedance and energy transfer. A resistor keeps voltage and current in phase, while a capacitor and inductor produce opposite phase shifts, a distinction used in circuit diagrams and numerical calculations.
