Direct Current Generators
A Direct Current Generator (DC generator) is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy in the form of direct current. It operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction, where a conductor, such as a coil of wire, rotates within a magnetic field. This movement induces an electric current in the coil, which can then be used to power electrical devices.
DC generators are commonly used in various applications, including battery charging, electroplating, and providing power for small motors. They are characterized by their ability to produce a steady voltage output, making them suitable for applications that require a consistent power supply.
