What is the function of split rings in a DC generator?
Question

What is the function of split rings in a DC generator?

A.

Supplies output continuously

B.

Generates output unidirectionally

C.

Generates output in the opposite direction

D.

Collects the output from alternate conductors

E.

Supplies output discontinuously

Correct option is B

A split ring commutator in a DC generator's primary function is to reverse the direction of the current in the armature coils every half rotation, ensuring that the current always flows in the same direction to the external circuit, regardless of the coil's rotation. This unidirectional current is what is considered the "output" of the generator.
