AC Generator
AC Generator
The electricity available from batteries is useful for portable devices. However, the voltages and currents are far too low for most purposes around the home and industry. This is when generator is needed. A generator uses electromagnetism to generate electricity. 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.
DC Generator :-
A DC generator or dynamo is an electrical machine whose main function is to convert mechanical energy into electricity. When conductor slashes magnetic flux, an emf will be generated based on the electromagnetic induction principle of Faraday's Laws. This electromotive force can cause a flow of current when the conductor circuit is closed.

Students / Parents Reviews [10]
I have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying
Yatharthi Sharma
10thAbhyas Methodology is very good. It is based on according to student and each child manages accordingly to its properly. Methodology has improved the abilities of students to shine them in future.
Manish Kumar
10thIt 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
10thIt was good as the experience because as we had come here we had been improved in a such envirnment created here.Extra is taught which is beneficial for future.
Eshan Arora
8thAbhyas is a complete education Institute. Here extreme care is taken by teacher with the help of regular exam. Extra classes also conducted by the institute, if the student is weak.

10thAbout Abhyas metholodology the teachers are very nice and hardworking toward students.The Centre Head Mrs Anu Sethi is also a brilliant teacher.Abhyas has taught me how to overcome problems and has always taken my doubts and suppoeted me.
Shreya Shrivastava
8thIt has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice
Barkha Arora
10thOne of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.
Aman Kumar Shrivastava
10thMy 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.
Hiya Gupta
8thMy 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.
