A DC generator, or "dynamo", is very similar to a DC electric motor but cannot be described as "exactly the same as a motor" because a DC generator's designed purpose is not to "use" electricity (which a DC motor does) but to "make", or "produce", electricity.

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.
Explain the construction and working of simple loop dc generator?
construction of DC generator
How can an ac generator be converted to DC generator?
It may not be possible to physically convert AC generator to DC generator. What can be done is that 'Rectifier' of suitable capacity can be connected to the out put of AC generator to get DC supply.
What is demagnetising effect of DC generator?
demagnetising effect of dc generator is to reduce main field flux there by reduction in generated voltage.
What would happen if a shunt-excited DC generator was operated at too low a speed?
A shunt generator is a type of DC generator that does not use a permanent magnet. Reducing the speed of the generator will reduce the output, but not the load the generator requires because the currents in the parallel branches are independent.
How do you make DC generator?
A DC generator is a DC machine that is driven by an external rotating force. It is constructed the same as a DC motor.
Different types of DC generator?
There are two types me dc generator 1 separately excited dc generator 2 self excited dc generator
Can a motor works as a generator?
since the physical construction of a DC motor and DC generator is the same,it can work either way.in other words,yes a DC motor can work as a DC generator(if you drive it by a primemover it will produce electricity).however its not possible with all AC motors.
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 was the first DC generator name and inventor why it is call generator?
first dc generator is max generator donno who invented t
Types of generators?
By the operation supply 1.AC generator 2.DC generator In DC generator we are having the following types according to the construction 1.DC Series Generator 2.DC shunt Generator 3.DC Compound Generator
Explain the construction and working of simple loop dc generator?
construction of DC generator
Explain the necessity and principles of commutator in Dc generator?
what is necessity of commutator in DC generator
How do you convert a DC generator to ac alternator?
Turn the DC generator inside out and you have an alternator .
Is dynamo an AC generator?
DC generator
Does a generator make ac or DC?
dc
What do you mean by DC generator?
DC generator is used to produce direct current. The basic DC generator have four basic parts 1. A magnetic field 2. A single conductor or loop 3. A commutator 4. Brushes
