Split ring
1. Commutator - The commutator is cylindrical in shape. Several wedge-
shaped, hard drawn copper segments form a commutator. The functions of
a commutator:
-reverse current direction and allow coil to rotate in one direction

2. Carbon brushes – carbon brushes are just a square of carbon


used for carrying current through your electric motors. Without
carbon brushes, the electric motors will not work.

Working Principle of DC Generator
A DC generator operates on the principle of Faraday’s laws of
electromagnetic induction. According to Faraday’s law,
whenever a conductor is placed in a fluctuating magnetic field
(or when a conductor is moved in a magnetic field) an EMF is
induced in the conductor. If the conductor is guided with a
closed path, the current will get induced. The direction of the
induced current (given by Fleming’s right-hand rule) changes
as the direction of movement of the conductor changes.

Working Principle of AC Generator

 It works on the principle of Faraday's law of


electromagnetic induction. Whenever a coil is
rotated in a uniform magnetic field about an axis
perpendicular to the field, the magnetic flux linked
with coil changes and an induced emf is set up
across its ends.
