Question id 323 - Aircraft General Knowledge - Airframe, Systems, Powerplant - ATPL - Airline Transport Pilot license

Alternators supply all of the output current through the commutators and brush assemblies.

Induced windings of the alternators are rotating (rotor), and the dynamos have a rotary inductor coil.

The alternators generate much less power than DC generators.

Induced (output) windings of the alternators are fixed (stator), and the dynamos have a fixed inductor (field) coil.
