Why DC excitation is used for alternators? Why cant it be AC?

Answer Posted / ashish

as we know that alternator work on the fraday's law ie when
a conductor cut the magnetic flux then a emf is induced. If
we give a.c supply than flux will also alternate and we will
get proper cuts of flux. hence we use dc supply.
