Question 4
(a)  Sketch the circuit diagram of a full-wave bridge rectifier. 
      (b)  State two factors that determine the  strength of a current generated by an alternator.
      (c)  List: 
      (i) two types of generator used in a motor vehicle;
      (ii) six parts of an alternator.
Observation
The expected answers were:
(a)Diagram  of full-wave bridge rectifier
    
    (b) Factors that determine the strength of  current generated by an alternator
- Field strength
- Number of turns of coil/conductor
- Relative motion between the conductor and the magnetic flux.
                                          
    (c)  (i) Types of generator used in a motor vehicle
- d.c. generator/dynamo
- a.c. generator/alternator
(ii) Parts of an alternator
- fan
- stator/coil
- bearing
- rotor
- rectifier pack
- slip rings
- pulley
- end plate
- brush gear
- bushing
- brushes
- diode
To obtain maximum mark in the (a) part, candidates were required to give correct arrangement of four diodes and connecting wires.
