the ac generator works on the principle of ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION.
Whenever an electric current flows through a conductor, a magnetic field is immediately brought into existence in the space surrounding the conductor. It can be said that when electrons are in motion, they produce a magnetic field. The converse is also true i.e. when a magnetic field embracing a conductor moves relative to the conductor, it produce a flow of electrons in the conductor. This phenomenon whereby an e.m.f. and hence current is induced in any conductor which is cut across or is cut by a magnetic flux is known as electromagnetic induction.
The basic principle of ac generator is electromagnetic induction when a coil of a conductor moves in a magnetic field the electrons in it starts moving because of attraction and repulsion of magnetic field. Thus, an emf is induced in it.
A simple AC generator works via a magnetic field. There is voltage induction into a coil of wire within the magnetic field, and as the voltage increases, the magnetic field increases.
The AC generator is basically the same as an DC generator except that the ac generator has slip-rings but now thery are starting to replace them with the split-ring commutator.
Depending on the type of generator: Electricity in the form of direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC) is produced.
A SIP in physics is a science investigatory project. Some great examples include using an orange peel as an antibacterial hand cleaner and creating your own simple AC generator.
This depends on the size of the generator itself. The smaller the generator, the more RPM's will be needed to generate 200 volts in an A/C system.
AC power for houses comes from generators. The most common type of generator has a boiler running on coal or oil that heats water converting it into steam that goes to a turbine that provides energy via a rotating shaft to the generator. Wires carry the electrical energy to the customers.
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.
Alternator and ac generator is equal
what is the construction of ac generator
An ac generator produces ac, a dc generator produces dc, it all depends on the generator.
by eletric
NO, generator always generating AC current,when commutator is used,at that time AC is converted in DC.and due to this generator is called dc generator.
DC generator
You step down voltage from an AC generator with a transformer.You step down frequency from an AC generator with a motor/generator set, or with an inverter. This is not a common thing to do.
an induction generator
It can be, however AC power is generally produced directly by an AC alternator/generator.
please how can i diagnose faults on an AC generator power circuits?
a generator:)
Type your answer here... how can you change an ac motor to a dc generator
