DC generator:

  • A DC generator is an electrical machine that converts mechanical energy into direct current (DC) electrical energy.
  • It operates based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, where the relative motion between a magnetic field and a conductor induces an electromotive force (EMF) in the conductor.

The field magnet coil in a DC generator is typically fitted in the body of the generator. It creates a magnetic field that interacts with the armature winding, inducing electricity generation. By controlling the current in the coil, the output voltage of the generator can be regulated.

Here, option 4 is correct.
