Table of Contents
In considering the current generator the first thing to be decided upon is the definition of the term dynamo. The following is thought to be a correct definition—A dynamo or dynamo electric machine is a machine which is used to convert energy in the form of mechanical motion into energy of electric currents, or vica-versa. Those used to generate currents of electricity are called dynamos, those used to generate mechanical motion are known as motors.
In attempting to make clear the theory of the dynamo, we will recall some simple experiments. In Fig. 1, send a current around B from right to left. Now A being free to move vertically either up or down, connect its binding posts to a galvanometer (that is, an instrument used to tell the direction of a current and also used to test the relative strength of two or more currents) and move A up suddenly when a current will be generated in A whose direction will be the same as that of the current in B. Now this current is not created energy, because in lifting[2] the coil A, work is expending against the attraction between the coils, as between two currents flowing in the same direction there is an attraction. If we pursue this experiment in its various forms we will find the following statement known as Lentz law is true, viz: "If the relative positions of two conductors A and B be changed of which B
