AC & DC Generation: Concepts,

Circuits, and Applications


Classroom Presentation on Electrical
Generation Systems
DC Generator - Working Principle
• Based on Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic
Induction
• Mechanical energy → Electrical energy
• Conductor rotates in magnetic field
DC Generator - Circuit Diagram
Description
• Armature coil rotates between field magnets
• Commutator converts AC to DC
• Brushes transfer current to external load
• Used in: Battery charging, welding,
electroplating
AC Generator - Working Principle
• Also based on Faraday's Law
• Delivers alternating current (AC)
• Current changes direction every half rotation
AC Generator - Circuit Diagram
Description
• Uses slip rings instead of commutator
• Rotating coil between magnetic poles
• Brushes collect alternating current
• Used in: Power plants, household supply
Comparison: AC vs DC Generator
• DC: Direct current, uses commutator, higher
maintenance
• AC: Alternating current, uses slip rings, lower
maintenance
• Applications vary by output requirement
Extended Usage Examples
• DC Generator: EVs, electrolysis plants, DC
motors
• AC Generator: Grid supply, wind turbines,
industrial motors
