AC GENERATOR Physics Project
An eLectric generator is a
device that converts mechanicaL
energy to eLectricaL energy. A
generator forces e Lectri c
current to ytow through an
externaL circui I. The sounce of
mechanicaL energy may be a
reciprocating or turbine steam
engine, uater faLL ing through
a
turbine or uater»heeL,
internaL combustion engine,
uind turbine, a hand cranh,
compressed air, or any other
source of mechani caLenergy.
Generators provide nearLy aL L of
the po»er y«r eLectric po»er
grids.
THEORY
1. The strong magnetic field is produced by
a current flow through the field coil of the
rotor.
2. The field coil in the rotor receives
excitation through the use of sI›"Rrings and
brushes.
3. Two brushes are spring-held in contact with the
sI‹“Rrings to provide the continuous connection
between the field coil and the external excitation
Brushes
