AC Generator
AC Generator
An electric generator is used to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy.
Principle: It is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. It is used to produce electric current by varying magnetic field through a coil.
Parts of Electric Generator: The difference parts of electric generator are explained as below:
1. Armature It is a coil having large number of turns of insulated copper wire wound over a soft iron core.
2. Field Magnet: It is a powerful magnet that provides a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the axis of rotation of coil between the North and South poles.
3.Slip rings: In an AC generator, we use slip rings that is full rings with which the ends of coil are in contact. DC generator uses split ring type commutator-half rings with which the ends of the armature coil are in contact.
4. Brushes There are two stationary metallic carbon brushes which are in contact with external device and rings.
Types of Electric Generator: Electric generators are of two types:
1. Alternating Current generator (AC generator)
2. Direct Current generator (DC generator)
AC Generator:
It generates the current which changes its direction after equal intervals of time, i.e. alternating current.
Construction: An AC generator consists of a rectangular armature coil (ABCD) placed in a region of strong magnetic field (between the two poles of a permanent magnet). It experiences a torque due to the forces acting on it and produces a current. The two slip rings P and Q maintain contact of the coil with the load resistor through brushes X and Y without resistor being moved.
Working: As the coil rotates, two rings attached with it also rotate . The brushes X and Y keep the contact with the rotating ring P and Q when the coil starts rotating with arm AB moving downwards and CD moving upwards (anti-clockwise) cutting the magnetic lines.
According to Fleming's right hand rule, current is induced in these arms in the direction ABCD. After half rotation, arc CD moves downwards and AB moves upwards. As a result, the direction of current in each segment changes giving rise to net induced current in the direction DCBA. Thus, after every half rotation, polarity of current in the respective arm changes thereby generating an alternating current.
Magnitude of induced emf in a generator can be increased by
1. Increasing the number of turns of armature.
2. Increasing the area of the armature.
3. Increasing the speed of rotation of the armature.
4. Increasing the strength of the magnetic field.

Students / Parents Reviews [20]
Usually we see institutes offering objective based learning which usually causes a lag behind in subjective examinations which is the pattern followed by schools. I think it is really a work of planning to make us students grab the advantages of modes of examination, Objective Subjective and Onli...

10thThird consective year,my ward is in Abhyas with nice experience of admin and transport support.Educational standard of the institute recumbent at satisfactory level. One thing would live to bring in notice that last year study books was distributed after half of the session was over,though study ...

8thThe experience was nice. I studied here for three years and saw a tremendous change in myself. I started liking subjects like English and SST which earlier I ran from. Extra knowledge gave me confidence to overcome competitive exams. One of the best institutes for secondary education.

10thMy experience with Abhyas Academy has been very good. When I was not in Abhyas whenever teacher ask questions I could not speak it confidently but when I came in Abhyas, my speaking skills developed and now I am the first one to give the answer of teachers question.

10thWe started with lot of hope that Abhyas will help in better understnding of complex topics of highers classes. we are not disappointed with the progress our child has made after attending Abhyas. Though need to mention that we expected a lot more. On a scale of 1-10, we would give may be 7.

8thMy experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.

10thMy experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
Shivam Rana
7thIt was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.
Cheshta
10thWhen I have not joined Abhyas Academy, my skills of solving maths problems were not clear. But, after joining it, my skills have been developed and my concepts of science and SST are very well. I also came to know about other subjects such as vedic maths and reasoning.
Sharandeep Singh
7thMy experience with Abhyas academy is very nice or it can be said wonderful. I have been studying here from seven class. I have been completing my journey of three years. I am tinking that I should join Abhyas Academy in tenth class as I am seeing much improvement in Maths and English
