An alternator's current is induced in the stator windings, which are stationary components surrounding the rotating rotor. As the rotor, equipped with magnets or electromagnets, spins within the stator, it creates a changing magnetic field, which induces an alternating current (AC) in the stator windings according to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. This induced current is then sent out to power electrical systems or charge batteries.
In alternators, the welding current is produced on the stator winding due to the electromagnetic induction process. When the rotor, which is a magnet, rotates within the stator, it creates a varying magnetic field that induces an alternating current (AC) in the stator windings. This induced current can then be used for welding applications by converting it to the appropriate form and intensity required for the welding process.
There is no such thing as an 'induced current'. What is 'induced' is a voltage. The direction of the induced voltage is determined by the direction of the changing current that induces that voltage, because the induced voltage will always act to oppose that change in current. So, if the current is increasing, then the direction of the induced voltage will act to opposethe increase in current. If the current is decreasing, then the direction of the induced voltage will act to sustainthat current.
The windings heat up due to I2R power losses and the iron cores heat up due to induced eddy current losses.
This question is not clear since alternators produce alternating current.
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.
Alternators produce Direct Current, Generators produce Alternating Current. Todays' cars have Alternators to charge the batteries.
The SI unit of induced current is the ampere (A).
Yes. Alternators supply alternating current.
Induced voltage is alsocalled ghost or phantom voltage as if you apply a load it vanishes. induced voltage will be potential/electrical pressure. Amperage is the actual flow of current being used, Watts being its calibration of total power used.
An induced electromotive force (emf) is an induced voltage. Voltage (emf) causes current flow, and this induced voltage will cause a current that is called the induced current.We might also add that the induced current will cause a magnetic field to expand about the current path, and this field will "sweep" the conductor. The sweeping of the conductor by that expanding magnetic field will set up an emf that will oppose the emf that was creating it.CommentTechnically, there is no such thing as an 'induced current'. It is voltage that is induced. Any current flows as a result of that induced voltage being applied to a load. But that current is certainly NOT induced!
There is no such thing as an 'induced current'. What is 'induced' is a voltage. If the conductor into which that voltage is induced forms a complete circuit, then a current will result. But it's the voltage that's induced, NOT the current! The direction of the induced voltage is explained by Lenz's Law which, in simple terms, tells us that the direction of the inducted voltage is always such that it will oppose the change in current that causes it. So the induced voltage will oppose any increase in current, but will act in the same direction as a reduction in current.
LENZ LAW gives the direction of induced current.
