Question 1
In an A.C generator, slip rings are used to:
- Areverse current direction periodically
- Bconvert A.C to D.C
- Cprevent induced current
- Dmaintain continuous electrical contact with the rotating coil
Show answerHide answer
Answer: D
Slip rings maintain continuous electrical contact with the rotating coil while allowing the current to alternate naturally (Exercise A 18.2; option (d) corrected, see notes).
Question 2
An A.C generator converts:
- Aelectrical energy into mechanical energy
- Bmechanical energy into electrical energy
- Cheat into light
- Dchemical energy into electrical energy
Show answerHide answer
Answer: B
It converts mechanical energy into electrical energy using electromagnetic induction.
Question 3
The most basic A.C generator includes a rectangular coil placed between the poles of a:
- Abattery
- Bpermanent magnet
- Ctransformer
- Dresistor
Show answerHide answer
Answer: B
A rectangular coil rotates between the poles of a permanent magnet.
Question 4
In an A.C generator the parts that remain fixed and maintain contact with the slip rings are the:
- Acarbon brushes
- Barmature
- Cpoles of the magnet
- Dgalvanometers
Show answerHide answer
Answer: A
Carbon brushes remain fixed and transfer the generated current.
Question 5
The faster the coil of an A.C generator rotates, the:
- Asmaller the induced voltage
- Blarger the induced voltage
- Clower the frequency
- Dless the flux is cut
Show answerHide answer
Answer: B
A faster rotation cuts the field faster and gives a larger induced voltage.
