An AC generator is an electric generator that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy in form of alternative emf or alternating current. AC generator works on the principle of Electromagnetic Induction.

A slip ring is an electromechanical device that allows the transmission of power and electrical signals from a stationary to a rotating structure. They are the metal rings which are welded together with the armature coil. A slip ring can be used in any electromechanical system that requires rotation while transmitting power or signals.
