Q1. Which of the following is not true of a DC machine commutator? (a) Its made of copper (b) Its also known as slip rings (c) Its also known as split rings (d) Its mounted on the rotor shaft (e) Its connected to the armature conductors Q2. Which of the following is true of a DC machine commutator? (a) The commutator provides external access to the armature via the brushes (b) The commutator segments are electrically insulated from each other and the rotor (c) The commutator acts as a mechanical rectifier in a DC generator (d) The commutator ensures that the current entering the armature of a DC motor is of the correct polarity (e) All of the above The main reason why Copper is preferred over Aluminum for DC machines windings is because: Q3. (a) Copper is less expensive than Aluminum (b) Copper is a better conductor than Aluminum (c) Copper is lighter than Aluminum (d) Copper has a higher melting point than Aluminum. (e) All of the above.
