The laws of electromagnetic induction have been used in the construction of a :

  1. galvanometer

  2. voltmeter

  3. electric motor

  4. electric generator
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The laws of electromagnetic induction has been used in the construction of a electric generator. In electric generator, emf is induced by changing the flux.
Galvanometer is used to detect current. So, no use of electromagnetic induction.
Voltmeter is used to measure voltage. Again, no use of electromagnetic induction.
Electric motor changes electrical energy into mechanical energy, which has no use of laws of electromagnetic induction.

A D.C. generator is based on the principle of.

  1. magnetic effect ofcurrent

  2. lighting effect ofcurrent

  3. electrochemical induction

  4. electromagnetic induction
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Answer is D.

Electromagnetic induction is a process where a conductor placed in a changing magnetic field (or a conductor moving through a stationary magnetic field) causes the production of a voltage across the conductor. This process of electromagnetic induction, in turn, causes an electrical current - it is said to induce the current.
Hence, the D.C. generator is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction.

In an electric generator ,split rings are used for 

  1. Converting DC to AC

  2. Converting AC to DC

  3. Reducing power consumption

  4. To split the current
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Answer is B.

The electric generator is devised to convert mechanical power into electrical power. Permanent magnet (PM) current converts into electrical energy through the interaction of two magnetic fields. One field is produced by a permanent magnet assembly, the other field is produced by an electrical current flowing in the rectangular coil ABCD, through the brushes and split-ring commutators. These two fields result in a torque which tends to rotate the coil. As the coil turns, the current in the winding is commutated to produce a continuous torque output. 
The split ring commutator is made from 2 pieces of copper that are held apart in the center from touching each other. They look like a copper ring split in the middle. The effect of using split rings in a electric generator is that the direction of the current flowing in the coil is reversed and DC current is generated.

Multiple choice physics effects of electric current electric generator ac generator magnetic effects of electric current

In an AC generator, the rate of change of magnetic flux through the coil is maximum when the angle between the plane of the coil and the lines of force is

  1. $0^0$

  2. $60^0$

  3. $30^0$

  4. $90^0$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

In an AC generator,  Magnetic flux $= NAB\sin\phi$

And, the rate of change of magnetic flux through the coil $(\dfrac{\mathrm{d}\phi }{\mathrm{d} t})$ $= NAB\omega\cos\phi$
So, the rate of change of magnetic flux through the coil is maximum when  $NAB\omega\cos\phi$ is maximum
$\Rightarrow \cos\phi$ is maximum
$\Rightarrow \cos\phi = 1$
$\Rightarrow \phi = 0^0$
Therefore, A is correct option.

In an AC generator, the ends of the coil are connected to ____________.

  1. two slip rings

  2. the split ring commutator

  3. the external circuit directly

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The slip rings allow the transfer of alternating e.m.f. induced in the rotating coil to the external circuit. Each ring is connected to one end of the coil wire and is electrically connected to the external circuit via the conductive carbon brushes.

So, In an AC generator, the ends of the coil are connected to two slip rings
Therefore, A is correct option
