Question

Which part of a DC electric generator reverses the direction of current in the coil?

  1. Brushes
  2. Split ring
  3. Armature
  4. Magnets

Hint:

The split rings are used in DC generators to reverse the current flow.

The correct answer is: Split ring


    The split ring of a DC electric generator reverses the direction of current in the coil.
    • The split ring is used to change the direction of the induced current.
    • It reverses the electric current in DC generators.
    • It helps in the rotation of current in a direction.
