Which component supplies current to the rotating field winding?

  • A.Brushes bearing on slip rings
  • B.A commutator, which reverses the current in the field winding as the rotor turns within the stator housing
  • C.The rectifier
  • D.An induction coupling, which transfers the current to the rotor without any physical contact between the parts

Answer: A

Two slip rings and small carbon brushes carry the field current, and because there is no reversal they need no segmentation. Brushless alternators using a stationary field genuinely exist, which makes the last option a real if uncommon arrangement. The shared behaviour explains why these belong together and the differences explain why both exist. Most errors here come from carrying across a result from a neighbouring case where it does not hold.
