Question

Which statement describes an AC generator?

Answer 1

AC (Alternating Current) generator is a device that produces an electromotive force.This generator produces alternating current. Alternating current  is electric current that changes its direction many times a second, at regular intervals. This is the type of current with which customers are supplied in the energy distribution network.

Answer 2

Explanation :

An AC generator consists of the alternating voltage source, magnet, slip rings, and brushes. AC current changes the direction of current periodically.

AC generator is used to produce emf. On the application of alternating current, the magnetic flux that is linked with the coil changes and hence the coil rotates continuously.

So, the correct statement that describes an AC generator is (d) " It produces the current that continuously reverses direction ".
