  • A The magnetic field needs to be made stronger
  • B The split rings should be replaced with slip rings
  • C The number of turns of the armature coil needs to be decreased
  • D The slip rings should be replaced with split rings
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
An AC generator uses slip rings to transfer the induced current smoothly to the circuit. A DC generator uses split rings to transfer the induced current to the circuit and also convert the induced AC into pulsating DC. So, to convert an AC generator into a DC generator, the slip rings needs to be replaced with split rings.
