Power is carried to the outside circuit of a  revolving armature type alternator  via brushes riding against the _____.

A) commutators
B) diodes
C) sliprings
D) wires

Revolving Armature Type

A design in electrical generators where the armature, or the part that generates electricity, rotates within a stationary magnetic field.

Sliprings

Circular bands of metal placed on the rotating part of a machine. Carbon brushes riding in contact with the sliprings provide connection to the external circuit.

Commutators

A mechanical switch used in some electric motors and electrical generators to reverse the direction of current flow in the coils.

  • Comprehend the fundamental principles and elements of alternators.
  • Identify various kinds of alternators along with their operational fundamentals.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
In a revolving armature type alternator, power is transferred to the outside circuit through slip rings. Slip rings provide a continuous electrical connection between the rotating armature and the stationary external circuit, unlike commutators which are used for DC generation.
