All of the following statements are true EXCEPT:
A) the voltage regulator controls the current passing through the windings of the electromagnetic field in the rotor.
B) the voltage regulator can be located on either the ground side or the positive side of the field circuit.
C) electronic voltage regulation requires no moving parts, so it can cycle electronically between 10 and 7,000 times per second.
D) turning the AC generator rapidly on and off to achieve a precise output is called voltage width modulation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct term for adjusting the output of an AC generator is "pulse width modulation," not "voltage width modulation." Pulse width modulation involves varying the width of the pulses in a pulse train to control power delivery, not turning the generator on and off rapidly.
