How does the commutator reverse the current in a motor?
Commutator is a split ring which reverses the current .when the commutator turns around due to magnetic force and because of it even the current gets reversed
What is the purpose of a commutator in a electric motor?
A commutator applies power to the best location on the rotor, and in a generator, picks off power similarly.
A split metal ring that acts as a switch in an electric motor is called a?
commutator
How can you generate a DC?
U sohuld replace the slip-ring which it is in the AC generator to a commutator. It is a split-ring. Then u can produce DC generator.
How do you change an ac motor to a DC motor?
Ac motor have slip ring, to remove the slip ring,connected to the commutator its a dc motor.
What is the basic difference between carbon brush of AC slip ring motor and carbon brush of Direct current commutator motor?
The only difference between slip rings and commutator is that commutator can change the frequency where as the slip rings can not do it.
Purpose of slip rings?
slip ring is connect on shaft of motor to collect current from commutator without any complicate connection and with use of it resistors can be insert in circuit and therefore speed control of motor can easily achive
What does the split ring commutator do in a motor?
It generates a alternating current to keep the motor rotating in the same direction.
What is the purpose of using slip rings?
This is the standard answer for both split ring commutator and slip ring. A split ring commutator is to reverse the current direction through an armature every half turn A slip ring is to ensure that the current continue to flow to the external circuit Last bit of additional information. Carbon brush ensure that the slip ring are in contact with the circuit containing the external load *Note: Do not get confused with split ring commutator(d.c.generator) & slip ring(a.c. generator)
What is the commutator subgroup of general linear group of dimension n?
If R is a commutative ring with unit, then the commutator subgroup of GLn(R) is SLn(R), the special linear group, which consists of all matrices in GLn(R) with determinant 1.
How commutator converts AC to DC?
There is no conversion of AC to DC a commutator is the key to creating straight DC voltage. "The commutator rotates with the loop of wire just as the slip rings do with the rotor of an AC generator. Each half of the commutator ring is called a commutator segment and is insulated from the other half. Each end of the rotating loop of wire is connected to a commutator segment. Two carbon brushes connected to the outside circuit rest against the rotating commutator. One brush conducts the current out of the generator, and the other brush feeds it in. The commutator is designed so that, no matter how the current in the loop alternates, the commutator segment containing the outward-going current is always against the "out" brush at the proper time. The armature in a large DC generator has many coils of wire and commutator segments. Because of the commutator, engineers have found it necessary to have the armature serve as the rotor(the rotating part of an apparatus) and the field structure as the stator (a stationary portion enclosing rotating parts). Which is the inverse of an AC Generator."
What is the purpose of a in an electric motor?
A commutator applies power to the best location on the rotor, and in a generator, picks off power similarly.
