A generator produces an alternating current, still it gives d.c. output because we use slip-rings at the terminals of actual output of generator.

What piece of equipment is used to produce electricity?

Some possible answers are: a battery (which produces direct current) or a generator of electricity generator, such as a dynamo (which produces direct current) or an alternator (which produces alternating current).


What converts direct current to alternating current?

To convert direct current to alternating current you need either an inverter or a motor-generator set.


What is an ac and DC generator?

An a.c. generator produces alternating current, whereas a d.c. generator produces direct current.


What form of electricity comes out of a Wave Generator?

It depends on how the generator is set up. Some will produce DC (Direct Current) and others will produce AC (Alternating Current). Where possible AC electricity will be produced as it runs through the grid without much loss of power.


What is the difference between Alternators and generators?

Generators produce electricity as direct current and Alternators produce electricity as alternating current. As alternators produce electricity more effeciently, and they are smaller and lighter and are used in modern vehicles.A generator creates direct current in the manufacture of power. An Alternator creates alternating current in the creation of power. Alternators can have diodes installed internally so that they have a D.C. output.


Which apparatus changes a direct current to alternating current?

An inverter is the apparatus that changes direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). It does this by converting the fixed voltage and direction of DC electricity into an oscillating voltage and alternating direction of AC electricity.


Can a commutator obtain a alternating emf from a generator?

Yes, a commutator can convert the alternating current (AC) generated in a generator into direct current (DC). In a generator, when the coil rotates in a magnetic field, it produces alternating emf due to electromagnetic induction. The commutator acts as a switch that reverses the connection of the coil to the external circuit at the right moments, allowing for a unidirectional flow of current, thus providing a direct current output.


Is galvanometer generator alternating current or direct current needed to operate an electric motor?

That depends if it is an ac or dc motor.


Is your house alternating or direct current?

Alternating current. Direct current is used in batteries.


The kind of electricity from the power plant is called?

There are only two kinds of electricity, direct current and alternating current. All power plants now produce alternating current


Which is better for transmission alternating current and direct current?

Alternating current is better than direct current for transmission.


Do wet cells and a generator both produce direct current?

No wet cells only store current.
