Commutation in DC Generator

The voltage induced in a single coil of a DC generator is alternating. A commutator is therefore necessary to ensure that the current in the external circuit always flows in the one direction. During the brief interval when a coil is short-circuited by a brush, the current in the coil must reverse its direction. This …
