What is an ac and DC generator?

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


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.


When the loop of wire in an AC generator rotates halfway it?

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.


What is alternating current and give examples for this?

Alternating Current( AC ) constantly reverses itself as a result OS reversing electromotive force.One complete reversal is a cycle,and the number of cycles per second is the frequency of alternating current .The standard frequency of alternating current in the United States and the rest of North America is 60 Hz(1 Hz or hertz,equals 1 cycle per second )ex...Transformer,AC generator

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


Why is a generator called an alternator?

Because it produces alternating current which is then converted to DC

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).


Why are currents changing direction?

Alternating current is generated by a rotating generator which moves in such a way as to produce that kind of current.


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.
