QUOTE: Originally posted by CSXrules4eva Ok I've got to ask a question which has puzzeled me for a long time. since we're talking about generators. I asked my Electricity 110 professor and I still don't understand it I know that this type of generator consists of a rotating magnetic feild inside three sets of winds but, how in the heck is the magnetic feild going to rotate? I can picture the armature rotating but not the field itself. Also are these windings of a choke design?// I have no clue. I aso wonder if the word phase can be given to the point at which the amature is stationed. For instance at 90 degrees or 180 degrees? /

QUOTE: Originally posted by CSXrules4eva Thankx very much guys for the responces to my question, you guys explained more than my professor did. What's funny is when I ask him for help on certain topics, he tells me that it took him 35 years to understand electricty. Then I tell him it's going to take me 50 years to understand it, and I really do think this is true given the fact that I'm having tremendous trouble trying to understand everything involving Electricty and Electronics.
