What is difference between generator and oscillator?
A generator is used to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy. An oscillator is used to convert dc to ac
Does a generator produce ac or DC voltage?
NO, generator always generating AC current,when commutator is used,at that time AC is converted in DC.and due to this generator is called dc generator.
Common parts of ac and dc generators?
There is not the big different between AC and DC generator and the common part of both of them areRotorStaterFrameMagnetic FieldBarringShaftWinding (Lap or Wave)Cable boxThe big different between both of them is the commutator and split rings which we use to convert DC to AC.
Can you convert a DC motor to run on AC?
The easiest way would be to convert the AC power to DC by using a rectifier diode and a filter capacitor. In that way you can now run your DC motor on DC.
How do you conver ac power into pulsating DC What devices you need?
rectifier circuit convert ac to dc signal
Which device is use to convert kinetic energy into electrical energy?
Alternator = AC electricity Generator = DC electricity
How do you convert a ac generator to dc generator?
The method used in cars is to have a 3-phase generator or alternator which is turned by the engine. Six diodes in a full-wave rectifier connect the alternator directly to the car's battery.
How do you convert ac generator to dc generator?
Such conversions are often inefficient and/or expensive. It requires an external power supply or battery charger to convert AC into DC.
Is ac power produced first in a dc generator?
It can be, however AC power is generally produced directly by an AC alternator/generator.
Which is used to convert DC to ac?
A power switching circuit called an inverter. You could also use an electromechanical motor-generator: DC motor turning an alternator.
Is there DC alternator?
An alternator is a device that converts DC (direct current) to AC (alternating current). If you need to convert AC to DC, then you need a rectifier.
How can you convert a DC generator into an ac generator?
Converting D/C into A/C is very expensive. You can use inverters to switch the direction of the current but you would probably be better off to replace your DC generator with an AC generator and if you need both AC and DC power then use a rectifier (inexpensive when compared to inverters) to convert the AC to a DC current.

What kind of electricity does an alternator make DC or AC?
It makes AC ( alternating current ) . That's why it's called an alternator. A DC generator would usually be called a dynamo.
What is DC generator?
because DC generator generates generally generate DC power but as it has slip rings which convert it into ac output power
Does a rectifier have the ability to convert DC to AC?
No. For that, you need an inverter or a generator.
How do you couple DC motor to alternator?
Shaft(rotor) of DC motor and Alternator(AC Generator) are alligned axially and radially to each other and connected.
