What is the definition of commutator?
A commutator is an electrical switch that periodically reverses the current direction in an electric motor or electrical generator. A commutator is a common feature of direct current rotating machines.
When current in a circuit reverses its direction in a regular pattern it is called?
An "Alternating Current" (AC).
How far does the current go before it reverses in a alternating current?
all the way to the load
What happens when you reverse the current in a current-carrying magnetic field?
The polarity of the electromagnet reverses.
In induction motor the will the direction of the rotor will be in the direction of the current?
The direction an induction motor will turn depends upon the direction of the rotating field setup by the winding. Remember in AC the direction of the current reverses itself 120 times every second for a 60 hz system. So no it will not turn in the "direction" of the current.
When current in a circuit reverses its direction in a regular pattern?
This description could be classed as Alternating Current.
An electric current that reverses its direction of flow at regular intervals 2 words?
Alternating current
What happens when you reverse the current in an electromagnet?
The magnetic field reverses direction.
Why should current be reversed in an AC circuit?
The current in any AC circuit reverses every cycle.
What is a device that reverses direction of electric current?
A device that reverses the direction of electric current is called a switch or a commutator. These devices can change the flow of current by opening or closing a circuit in the opposite direction. Such devices are commonly used in electrical systems to control the direction of current flow.
Current that reverses direction in the regular pattern is called?
This is known as a direct current or DC. The two major types of currents are AC (alternating current) and DC (direct current). In AC the charges move back and forth, but in DC the charges flow in JUST ONE DIRECTION. Due to this characteristic it will not reverse direction like AC can.
When current flow reverses itself several times per second that type of electric current flow is called what?
When the current in a conductor reverses direction periodically, that type of currentis categorized as "Alternating Current" (AC).Whether the reversals occur several times per second or once a month is irrelevant.
