Answer / manoj dubey

Though term "Generator" can be used any type of generation
whether it is AC or DC but it is generally referred for DC
generator because in previousely generation was only in DC

Alternator came in picture and Alternator only generate in
AC. But term "Generator" can be used for both type of
generator.

Answer / veerendra

its simple...
in generators...
thr is no commutator..
output is taken directly from the conductors..so the output

in alternator the commutator is used
so the output is AC

Answer / sunil
