Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Generators can produce only alternating current.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -2: False. While many electric generators produce AC (Alternating Current), there are also generators that produce DC (Direct Current).

Detailed explanation-2: -The rotor generates a moving magnetic field around the stator, which induces a voltage difference between the windings of the stator. This produces the alternating current (AC) output of the generator.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Generator is a type of machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. However, the electrical energy generated can be either in AC or DC form.

Detailed explanation-4: -A generator (alternator) is a machine that uses electromagnetic induction to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. A direct current (DC) generator works on the principle that a voltage is induced in a conductor coil when it is rotated in a magnetic field.

Detailed explanation-5: -No. An alternator is a device that converts mechanical energy into AC electrical energy. A generator is a mechanical device which converts mechanical energy to either AC or DC electrical energy.
