II. Read and translate the text. How Generator Works

Parti

There are lines of forces between two bar magnets, that is between south and north poles. If aconductor is moved at right angles to the lines of force, a voltage will be generated in the wire, causing acurrent to flow through the wire and through the external circuit. No voltage is produced in the conductorwhen it moves parallel to the lines of force, because no lines of force are cut.

When a conductor is rotating in a field, it cuts a maximum number of lines of force when moving at right angles to them, and cuts no lines when moving parallel to them. During the rotation of a conductor from the parallel to right angle position the number of lines of force cut is gradually increased from nothing to the maximum. Like wiso when the conductor rotates from the right angle position to parallel, the number of lines cut is decreased from maximum to nothing. Voltage and current rise and fall occurs endlessly during all the half revolutions through which the conductors are rotated.

Part 2

The construction of the simple generator is as follows. The single armature coil is located in slots in a cylindrical piece of soft steel called the armature core. The ends of the coil are soldered to semicircles segments of copper to from the "commutator". The two segments are insulated from each other. Two copper composition "brushes" are pressed against the commutator, thus providing electrical contact when commutator and armature coil are rotated. The brushes do not rotate.

The magnetic field is produced electrically by coils of wire which are wound around the iron "field poles". The two coils are in serious and are connected to the brushes. The external circuit is also connected to the brushes. Current flows out into the external circuit through the positive (+) brush and returns by way of the negative (-) brush to the armature coil.

When the armature coil is moving, there is a rise in voltage and current from zero to a maximum, and then when the coil moves, there is a drop in current and voltage from a maximum to zero.

Instead to the pulsating current produced by a single armature coil, a smooth current is desirable and this obtained by increasing the number of coil on the armature. An actual generator has upwards of 2fl. coils.
