Questions and Answers

What is the result of rotating a loop in a magnetic field?

  • The direction of the magnetic field changes.
  • The loop curls magnetic lines of force with it. (correct)
  • The loop stops producing current.
  • The loop generates heat instead of electricity.
  • What initiates the generator action in a system?

  • Increasing the resistance in the circuit.
  • Switching off the ignition.
  • Current from the battery flowing to the generator. (correct)
  • The movement of the armature only.
  • After the ignition switch is turned on, what happens next in the generator operation?

  • The generator immediately starts producing power.
  • The drive belt is disconnected.
  • Current is sent to the starter engine for cranking. (correct)

    Study Notes

    Production of Current in Single Loop

    • A conductor is positioned between two magnetic poles to generate current.
    • Rotating the loop in a clockwise direction allows it to interact with magnetic lines of force.
    • The left-hand rule helps determine the direction of the induced current, which flows out of the conductor.
    • This process continuously occurs in a single loop and successively in all loops within the armature coil.

    Generator Action

    • Turning on the ignition switch allows current from the battery to flow to the field windings of the generator.
    • This increases the strength of the magnetic field, preparing it for operation.
    • Further engagement of the ignition switch cranks the starter engine.
    • A drive belt transmits motion to the generator shaft via a pulley system.
    • The rotating armature within the magnetic field induces current due to the cutting of magnetic lines.
    • Induced current is transmitted through carbon brushes to the battery terminal.
    • The current then flows to the battery for recharging and powering accessories.
