The major difference between an AC generator and a DC generatoris that the DC generator requires a mechanism to provide a DC output. This can be done mechanically with a commutator or electronically with a rectifier. Internally, all generators produce an alternating voltage. Allgeneratorsrequire a magnetic field.

Difference between magneto and ac generator?
magneto is dc
What is difference between magneto and AC generator?
a magneto puts out dc electricity
What is the difference between AC and DC choke?
There is no difference between AC AND DC chockes
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
Which is usually produced by a generator ac or DC?
An ac generator produces ac, a dc generator produces dc, it all depends on the generator.
What component causes a generator to produce dc voltage rather than ac voltage at its output terminals?
"...The main difference between a DC generator and an AC generator lies in the manner in which the rotating coil is connected to the external circuit containing the load..." Excerpt from: http://farside.ph.utexas.edu/teaching/316/lectures/node91.html In other words, the commutator that the brushes contact makes the difference between AC/ (semi) DC output. You can also use electronic switching these days to get DC from AC generators.
What is the difference between ac and dc grounding?
The difference AC and DC grounding is that AC is alternate current and DC is direct current. Grounding for both AC and DC is the same.
Is dynamo an AC generator?
DC generator
What is the difference between in ac and dc powwer cable?
There is no difference in the cables. The only difference is the type of electrical power being transmitted. AC or DC applications use the same wires.
Does a generator make ac or DC?
dc
What the difference between AC and DC?
AC rises with respect to time but DC is steady.
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.
