Question

What is the function of brushes in an electric generator ?

Answer 1

The functions of brushes in an enlectric generator is to transfer the current from the coil to the load.

Explanation:

Brushes are normally used in dc generators to collect the generated power from rotating armature. The brushes will make contact with the commutator and transfer it to the external load and to keep the torque on a DC motor from reversing every time the coil moves through the plane perpendicular to the magnetic field, a split-ring device called a commutator is used to reverse the current at that point.
