It was produced in 1800 by Italian physicistAlessandro Volta
DC Voltage
The firstalternatorto produce alternating current was a
Dynamo Electric Generator
It is used to change the voltage from a low to a high level of current
Transformer
It’s a machine constructed to rotate amagnetic fieldaround a set of stationary wire coils with the turning of a shaft
AC Alternator
It’s a voltage or current that changes polarity or direction, respectively, over time
AC
voltage or current that maintains constant polarity or direction, respectively, over time
DC
The conversion of alternating to direct current is accomplished by a circuit referred to as
Rectifier
There is an effect of electromagnetism known as
Mutual Induction
On the ground external AC power and/or an _______, usually providing AC
APU
If we have two mutually inductive coils and we energize one coil with AC, we will create an AC voltage in the other coil. When used as such, this device is known as a
Transformer
Also known as flooded or wet batterie

Valve Regulator Lead Acid
What is the meaning of NiCd Battery?
Nickel Cadmium
What is the rate of discharging a battery
1 Hr
U.S.-manufactured lead-acid batteries are considered fully charged when the specific gravity reading is between
1.277 and 1.300
