Typically the armature windings are in the stator of a generator, which does not rotate. Typically the field windings are on the rotor, which rotates.

What is armature current?
Armature current is the current flowing in a motor's armature. The "armature" is another name for the coil (or coils) of wire which are on the motor's "rotor", which is the part that rotates inside its stator. (The "stator" is the fixed, non-rotating part of the motor.)
What does a armature or rotor do?
The Armature(or rotor) is a electromagnet inside a motor and alters the magnetic field inside the motor when it rotates. In DC motors it is connected to a Commutator. In AC induction motors the armature isn't connected to a power source.
What is meant by shaft and commutator in the armature?
The armature is the moving part of a motor or generator. Tthe shaft is the central rod on which the armature rotates. The commutator is the part that transfers the power too or from the moving windings in the armature to the static part of the motor or generator (either too or from the electricity supply).
What are the effect of armature reaction in DC machine and how the armature reaction is minimise?
Armature reaction is the interaction between the magnetic flux produced by armature current and that of the main magnetic field in an electric motor or generator.
Operation of DC generator?
1) PRINCIPLE:Whenever a conductor cuts magnetic flux, dynamically induced emf is produced in it. ( Faraday's Laws of Electromagnetic Induction ). This emf causes a current to flow if the conductor circuit is closed.2 ) OPERATION:Field winding produces magnetic field in D.C. generator. Armature is coupled to the prime mover. Prime mover produces torque so the armature rotates. The armature cuts the magnetic field so the emf is induced in the armature. When load is connected to the armature, electric current flows from the armature conductors, through load and back to the armature conductors. Now, as current flows through the armature and it is in the magnetic field, torque is produced due to it. (This torque is called back torque). If the load on the generator is increased, the back torque increases so the torque of the prime mover also increases and the input power to the prime mover increases. In this way, the generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.It should be observed that the emf induced in D.C. generator, is A.C. ( so the emf induced in the armature is alternating in nature. ). Then with the help of commutator, it is converted into D.C. Rings and brushes are used to take the emf outside.

What is a Generator consisting of a coil that rotates between the electromagnet causing a current to flow in the armature?

What is meant by shaft and commutator in the armature?
The armature is the moving part of a motor or generator. Tthe shaft is the central rod on which the armature rotates. The commutator is the part that transfers the power too or from the moving windings in the armature to the static part of the motor or generator (either too or from the electricity supply).
How does a small generator produce current?
It doesn't! It produces voltage. It does this by the relative movement between an armature (winding into which a voltage is induced) and a magnetic field (set up by field windings). Either the armature rotates inside a fixed field (small generators) or the field rotates within a fixed armature (larger generators).Current is only supplied when a load is connected to the generator.
What is function of a stator in alternator?
The stator is the stationary winding assembly that makes the magnetic field inside the alternator. It is this magnetic field that the armature rotates in generating the electricity.
How is alternating current produced in a generator?
In an AC generator an armature is rotated in a magnetic field. This induces an electric current in the armature. if you want more look on the bottom. As the crank turns the armature rotates in the magnetic field. One side of the armature moves up, and the other side moves down. The up and down motion induces a current in the wire. The current is in opposite directions on two sides of the armature. After the armature turns halfway, each side of it reverses direction in the magnetic field. The side that moved up moves down, vice versa. The current is induced. As the Armature turns, slip rings turn with it. They are attached to the ends of the armature. As they turn, they make contact with the brushes. The brushes can be connected to the rest of the circuit. In this way, a generator becomes energy source.
Switching of the poles?
This question doesn't really have enough information. I'll assume that you are talking about a DC circuit where switching of the poles would mean to reverse the polarity of the circuit, ie switching of the poles would mean to switch the positive and negative leads of the circuit. This term is also associated with motors. Switching of the poles in motors is what causes the rotation of the armature. The brushes of the motor induce a current into the armature, as the armature rotates the brushes come in contact with other bars on the armature thus "switching of the poles".
Define the brush on a dc motor?
The brush is actually a piece of carbon placed on the rotating commutator of the motor. it will be in pairs. Since the armature shaft rotates but gets the continuity through these brushes.
Name the types of alternators based on their rotor construction?
1) Rotating armature alternator, rotates in stationary magnetic field. 2) Rotating field alternator, the magnetic field is rotating.
What is mean by rotor in machines?
a ROTOR is basically any part of a machine that rotates. eg the armature in a motor a STATOR is the part of a machine that is stationary. ie the ROTOR revolves within the STATOR
What is the difference between armature reaction and armature reactance?
armature reactant means loss in armature associated with inductive properties of the coil, while armature reaction include losses due to magnetizing component of current flowing through armature.
