What a generator converts

Kinetic energy into electrical energy

Component maintaining contact in AC generators

Slip rings

Formula for maximum EMF in AC generator

εmax=2πfnBA\varepsilon_{\text{max}} = 2\pi fnBA

RMS EMF in terms of maximum EMF

εrms=εmax2\varepsilon_{\text{rms}} = \frac{\varepsilon_{\text{max}}}{\sqrt{2}}

Key component in DC generator (not in AC)

Commutator

Function of commutator in DC generator

Converts alternating EMF to pulsed DC output

Two main parts of AC induction motor

Stator (stationary) and rotor (rotating)

Operating principle of AC induction motor

Electromagnetic induction with no direct current to rotor

Advantage of AC motor over DC (maintenance)

No commutator or brushes, low maintenance

Magnetic flux equation for rotating coil

Φ=nBAsin(2πft)\Phi = nBA\sin(2\pi ft)
