Yes. A black box is a system whose contents are unknown, but can produce a predictable output based on a given input. Software libraries may be considered black boxes, for example, if the source code for the library is unavailable. Black boxes may be software (as the previous example), or hardware, such as an hardware-based encryption chip.

What is excitation of DC machine?

In general terms, 'excitation' simply describes the process by which an electric current produces a magnetic field. But, more specifically, it refers to the creation of the magnetic field by the field windings of a motor or generator. In the case of an alternator, for example, the armature windings (the windings into which voltages are induced) are stationary, and inserted into slots cut into the inner face of the stator. The field is then provided by the rotor which is supplied (via slip rings) with a 'excitation' current provided by an external d.c. voltage.
