Question 6 • Physics

Which best describes the steps involved in the operation of an electric generator?

Answer
A
The electric current passes from the brushes, through the slip rings, and to the collection device.
B
The electric current passes from the commutator, through the brushes, and into the power source.
C
The electric current passes from the slip rings, through the brushes, and to the collection device.
D
The electric current passes from the power source, through the brushes, and into the commutator.

Explanation

In an electric generator, the rotating coil produces current that is carried out through the slip rings. Stationary brushes contact the slip rings and conduct the current to the external collection device. Therefore, choice A, “The electric current passes from the slip rings, through the brushes, and to the collection device,” describes the path correctly.
