उत्तर
Principle − Based on the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction.
Construction:
Main parts of an ac generator:
Armature − The rectangular coil ABCD
Filed Magnets − Two pole pieces of a strong electromagnet
Slip Rings − The ends of the coil ABCD are connected to two hollow metallic rings R1 and R2.
Brushes − B1 and B2 are two flexible metal plates or carbon rods. They are fixed and are kept in tight contact with R1 and R2, respectively.
Working − As the armature coil is rotated in the magnetic field, angle θ between the field and the normal to the coil changes continuously. Therefore, magnetic flux linked with the coil changes and an emf is induced in the coil. According to Fleming’s right hand rule, current is induced from A to B in AB and from C to D in CD. In the external circuit, current flows from B2 to B1.
To calculate the magnitude of emf induced:
Suppose A → Area of each turn of the coil
N → Number of turns in the coil
`vecB`→ Strength of the magnetic field
θ → Angle which normal to the coil makes with `vecB` at any instant t
∴ Magnetic flux linked with the coil in this position is given by,
`phi=N(vecB.vecA)=NBAcostheta=NBAcos `
Where, ‘ω’ is angular velocity of the coil
Graph between magnetic flux and time, according to equation (i), is shown below:
As the coil rotates, angle θ changes. Therefore, magnetic flux Φ linked with the coil changes and an emf is induced in the coil. At this instant t, if e is the emf induced in the coil, then
`e=(dtheta)/dt=-d/dt(NABcos`
`=-NABd/dt(cos `
=-NAB(-sin ωt)ω
∴ e = NAB ω sin ωt
The graph between alternating emf versus time is shown below:

Ram is a student of class X in a village school. His uncle gifted him a bicycle with a dynamo fitted in it. He was very excited to get it. While cycling during night, he could light the bulb and see the objects on the road. He, however, did not know how this device works. he asked this question to his teacher. The teacher considered it an opportunity to explain the working to the whole class.
Answer the following questions:
(a) State the principle and working of a dynamo.
(b) Write two values each displayed by Ram and his school teacher.
