Decide whether each of these statements is True (T) or False
With a d.c. generator, a split-ring commutator is used to:
(i) Reverse the connections to the rotor winding every half-cycle.
(ii) Via brushes give the output voltage.
A) (i) T (ii) T
B) (i) T (ii) F
C) (i) F (ii) T
D) (i) F (ii) F

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

(i) True because the split-ring commutator reverses the connection to the rotor winding every half-cycle to maintain the same direction of current flow in the external circuit. (ii) True because the brushes, in contact with the commutator, provide the path for the output voltage to be taken from the generator.
