Detailed Solution

The main difference between an AC and a DC generator is that a DC generator has a commutator while an AC generator has slip rings.
The difference between an AC generator and a DC generator is the construction. In DC generators, a split-ring type commutator is used to produce a unidirectional current. On the other hand, the AC generator is operated on alternating currents. Thus, the AC generator has slip rings, while the DC generator has a commutator.
