MULTIPLE-CHOICE (DC GENERATOR)

1.) An electrical machine that converts mechanical energy into electricity.

a. DC Machine

b. DC Generator

c. DC Motor

d. AC Generator

2.) Are used in a system to achieve smooth movement between the different components.

a. Brushes

b. Yoke

c. Bearings

d. Rotor

3.) The ending parts of the mainframe with a function to protect the bearings.

a. End Housings

b. Stator

c. Shaft

d. Poles

4.) It is an iron or steel plate that is used primarily to disperse the magnetic flow and avoid the spinning
field coil from falling.

a. Pole shoe

b. Commutator

c. Magnetic Field

d. Poles

7.) In Fleming’s right hand rule the forefinger points towards the direction of the ______.

a. Direction of the current

b. Magnetic Field

c. Magnetic Force

d. Yoke

8.) Are devices that convert mechanical movements to electricity using their own magnetic fields.

a. Separately Excited DC Generator

b. Self-Excited DC Generator

c. Permanent Magnet DC Generator

d. Compound Wound Generator

9.) Is the one whose field winding is supplied by an independent external DC source such as battery.

a. Separately Excited DC Generator

b. Self-Excited DC Generator

c. Permanent Magnet DC Generator

d. Compound Wound Generator
