How to use DC generator MCQs for exam practice

Good DC generator MCQs test whether you can explain how the machine works, not just recall a term. Most electrical machines courses return to the commutator, armature reaction and the three excitation types, so practice questions on those topics are the most useful.

  • Commutator and brush action in a DC generator
  • Armature reaction and the role of interpoles
  • Shunt, series and compound excitation
  • Induced emf and Faraday's law in armature conductors
Example DC generator MCQ practice questions
Which part of a DC generator converts the induced alternating emf into a unidirectional output? (a) slip rings (b) commutator (c) brushes (d) field poles(b) commutator. The split-ring commutator reverses the armature coil connection every half turn, so the brushes receive direct current.
Which winding in a DC generator produces the main magnetic field? (a) armature winding (b) field winding (c) compensating winding(b) field winding. It is energized to create the flux that the armature conductors cut as they rotate.
True or false: interpoles are fitted to reduce armature reaction and brush sparking.True. Interpoles create a commutating field in the interpolar zone that counters the distortion caused by armature reaction.
In a series-wound DC generator, where is the field winding connected?In series with the armature, so it carries full load current. This is why its output voltage changes strongly with load.
Which law explains why an emf is induced in the armature conductors of a DC generator? (a) Ohm's law (b) Faraday's law (c) Coulomb's law(b) Faraday's law. A conductor cutting magnetic flux lines has an emf induced in it, and the emf depends on the rate at which flux is cut.

Frequently asked questions

What does the commutator do in a DC generator?

The commutator is a split copper ring that reverses the connection between the armature coil and the external circuit every half turn. This converts the alternating emf induced in the armature into a unidirectional output at the brushes.

How does a shunt generator differ from a series generator?

In a shunt generator the field winding is connected in parallel with the armature and carries a small current. In a series generator the field winding is in series with the armature and carries the full load current.

Can DeckOwl write these questions in Marathi?

DeckOwl builds questions from the notes or slides you upload, so the questions follow your source material. It does not provide a ready-made Marathi DC generator question bank.

Is exporting DC generator questions free?

No. The free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations a month. PDF and DOCX export come with Plus at $99.90/year or $9.99/month, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export come with Pro at $14.99/month.
