electric generator and motor

Cards (14)

  • The rotor is the part that moves inside the stator.
  • In an AC motor, the rotating magnetic field causes the rotor to turn due to electromagnetic forces between the rotor and stator.
  • A DC generator has brushes to collect the electrical charge from the commutator.
  • In an AC generator, the rotating magnetic field induces current flow in the stationary coils or conductors on the stator.
  • In an AC generator, the rotating magnetic field induces current in the coils on the rotor.
  • The rotor is the part that turns inside the stator.
  • A synchronous generator operates at a constant speed determined by its frequency.
  • An AC generator produces alternating current (AC) when it converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
  • AC generators are commonly used as alternators in power plants.
  • The speed of rotation of an AC generator cannot be changed by changing the number of turns on the coil because it would change the frequency of the output voltage.
  • A DC motor has two main parts - the armature (rotor) and the commutator.
  • An AC generator does not have brushes or a commutator.
  • electromagnetic wave
  • em waves
