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.
