Can commutator convert AC to DC?

Open in App

Solution

Explanation:
The answer is Yes.
The alternating current generated in the armature windings of the generator gets converted to direct current after it passes through the commutator and the brushes.
And the commutator doesn't allow the current to change direction in the brushes, so it converts AC to DC.
Hence, the commutator converts AC to DC
