Which advantage follows from placing the field on the rotor?

  • A.The output is produced without any rectification, which simplifies the construction of the machine considerably
  • B.Lower weight
  • C.The machine can be driven in either direction, which permits it to be mounted on either side of the engine
  • D.Only the small field current passes through the brushes

Answer: D

Field current is a few amps while the output may be a hundred and fifty, so the brushes and slip rings carry very little. A dynamo passed its whole output through the brushes, which is why they wore so quickly. Tracing the requirement back to the physical constraint that produces it makes the answer follow. Reading the definition literally, rather than recalling a summary, avoids the usual confusion. A limit that survives making every external component ideal is an intrinsic one, and worth knowing for that reason.
