- Movement of magnet produces electromagnetic force
- Movement + magnetism = current
- 2 slip rings make contact with 2 brushes with copper or carbon connected to an external circuit
- Coil rotates, one half upwards, other downwards
- This produces current in 1 direction
- As continues rotating, half moving upwards moves downwards, vice versa. This constant change results in AC
- Replacing slip rings with split ring produces DC because it reverses current when it is naturally going to reverse so it produces current in only one direction
