PHY 102 Electromagnetic Induction Objective Question

Question

What is the function of slip rings in an AC generator?
Options
A To reverse the current direction every half cycle
B To provide a continuous electrical connection between the rotating loop and the external circuit without reversing polarity
Correct Answer
C To increase the generated voltage
D To reduce resistance
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Slip rings are continuous rings that maintain electrical contact with the rotating coil, providing a steady connection that does not reverse polarity, allowing AC output.

Hint

Continuous contact, no reversal.
