The com-mutator converts the alternating current set up by the actionof rotating the insulated conductor in the magnetic fieldinto a continuous current. The current which is generated in the armature passesinto the external circuit and also induces a current in thecoil around the electro-magnet, rendering it electro-magneticwhen the dynamo is in
