Okay but why does the use of split rings give you kinetic energy and the use of slip rings gives you electrical energy even tho both of theyre functions is spinning a coil in a magnetic field, shouldnt they both create an induced emf and create electrical energy? Just wondering
You have wondered correct, they do both created induced EMF.
Motor electricity => kinetic
Generator kinetic => electricity
In your jacaranda do you see a battery source on the generator? I don't think so.
You use external force to turn generator
A back emf is created from the current to oppose the torque created by the external force.
Thx
nps and remember you can use split rings for generator, that just makes it DC. You can figure it out urself why it is so.
