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.
A generator produces alternating current.
It is technically an alternating current generator.It is technically an alternating current generator.
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.
An a.c. generator produces alternating current, whereas a d.c. generator produces direct current.
An alternator (a.c. generator).
To convert direct current to alternating current you need either an inverter or a motor-generator set.
a generator or alternator,if the magnetic is permanent the current produced from the coil will be alternating current ac.

Alternating current.
alternating current
Alternating currents (AC) are produced by generators that convert mechanical energy into electrical energy through electromagnetic induction. In a typical AC generator, a coil of wire rotates within a magnetic field, causing the direction of the current to reverse periodically as the coil moves through different orientations of the magnetic field. This process results in a sinusoidal waveform of voltage and current, characteristic of AC. The frequency of the alternating current is determined by the speed of the rotation and the number of poles in the generator.
When the loop of wire in an AC generator rotates halfway, it experiences a change in magnetic flux through the loop. This change induces an electromotive force (EMF) according to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, causing an alternating current (AC) to flow. As the loop continues to rotate, the direction of the induced current reverses, resulting in the characteristic alternating nature of the current produced by the generator.
