Which is usually produced by a generator ac or DC?

An ac generator produces ac, a dc generator produces dc, it all depends on the generator.


How is hydro power produced?

Hydroelectric power is produced when water is dammed or concentrated to one point: turbines. The turbines spin as the rushing water speeds down the pipes or dam. As the turbines spin, they also turn a generator which needs movement to provide energy. The electricity produced by a generator is then transfered to power lines which carry electricity for hundreds of miles.


What determinesthe amount of current produced in the armature of a generator?

The amount of current produced in the armature of a generator is primarily determined by the voltage induced in the armature winding, the resistance of the circuit, and the load connected to the generator. According to Ohm's Law, current (I) is equal to voltage (V) divided by resistance (R) (I = V/R). Additionally, factors such as the speed of rotation of the generator, the strength of the magnetic field, and the number of turns in the coil also influence the induced voltage and, consequently, the current generated.


How plasma is produced using RF generator?

It's power that is loss during the tuning of the RF network. Ideally the reflective power is tuned to zero before striking the plasma to maximize the efficiency of the RF generator.


How far does electricity travel to get to your house?

Every inch of the way from the electric power generator to the outlet in your house. At times, the generator that produced the power for your house may be located in another state, several hundred miles away.

How can we increase the amount of electricity produced by generator?

You can increase the electricity produced by a generator by increasing the rotational speed of the generator, increasing the size of the generator or using a more efficient fuel source. Regular maintenance and tuning of the generator can also help optimize its performance for maximum electricity production.

What does the capacitor in a generator do?

The capacitors in a generator is to store energy produced. They are also needed when starting the generator as a considerable amount of extra power is needed at this time.


Does changing the number of magnets in a generator affect the amount of energy produced?

No, changing the number of magnets in a generator does not directly affect the amount of energy produced. The energy produced by a generator is primarily determined by the rotation speed of the generator, the strength of the magnetic fields, and the number of turns in the coils. A generator with more magnets may have a different design that impacts its efficiency, but the number of magnets alone does not dictate the energy output.


What type of signal is produced by an inductive generator?

AC sinewave


What is electical energy produced by?

What is electrical energy produced by burning fossils to produce heat, which turns the generator.


Why does the voltage produced by a generator alternates?

The voltage produced by a generator alternates because the motion of the rotor within the magnetic field causes changes in the direction of the current flow, resulting in a fluctuating voltage output.
