Question
To convert an AC generator into DC generator:
  1. Split-ring type commutator must be used.
  2. Slip rings and brushes must be used.
  3. A stronger magnetic field has to be used.
  4. A rectangular wire loop has to be used.

Answer

  1. Split-ring type commutator must be used.

Explanation: AC generator has slip rings while the DC generator has a split ring type commutator. To convert an AC generator into DC generator the split ring type commutator with which unidirectional current is obtained.
