In this lesson on AC and DC Generators, which is part of Unit 3 Area of Study 2 for VCE Physics, you will learn how to:
- explain the production of DC voltage in DC generators and AC voltage in alternators, including the use of split ring commutators and slip rings respectively.
Overview
Generators are used to generate and distribute electricity, as shown in the video below.
Induction Motors
Induction motor relies on Lenz’s Law.
Lenz’s Law states that a magnetic flux induces a voltage to oppose the initial change in magnetic flux.
