[Larger.]

Ques. Where is the commutator placed?

Ans. It is attached to the shaft at the front end of the armature.

Ques. What are inductors?

Ans. The insulated wires wound on the armature core, and in which the electric current is induced.

Ques. How are the inductors connected to the commutator?

Ans. The ends of each conducting loop or coil must be connected with the commutator segments in a certain order to correspond with the type of winding.

Ques. Explain in detail how direct current is obtained in a dynamo.
