Question 6 • (OC27) Earth/Space Sci-2001310-S2-Nelson

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

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

Explanation

In an electric generator, the rotating coil induces current that is carried to the external circuit. The current passes from the slip rings, which connect to the rotating coil, through the stationary brushes, and then to the collection device or circuit. So the best description is “from the slip rings, through the brushes, and to the collection device.”
