298 RICHARDSON'S BLUEBOOK OF PROJECTION Field Poles Poles of a magnet forming a magnetic field. As applied to motors and dynamos, they are the poles that form the field in which the armature of the dynamo or motor rotates. Field Rheostat ► A rheostatic resistance, usually adjustable, employed to control the flow of current through the field coil or coils of a dynamo motor. Generator A machine which transforms mechanical power into electrical power. Such machines are commonly termed "dynamos" if they produce d. c. ; "alternators'' if their output is a. c. Magnet In the ordinary acceptance of the term, it is a body of iron charged with magnetism and generating or having power to generate a magnetic field. It may be a "permanent" magnet (a polarized electro magnet), in which case the magnetic field is always present; it becomes an electro-magnet only when excited by the passage of current through wires wound around it. Permanent magnets usually are of steel; electro-magnets are generally of soft iron. Magnets, permanent or otherwise, may be made more powerful by passing current through coils of wire wound around them. Magnet Coil A coil composed of insulated wire wound upon an electro-magnet over which current is passed to "excite" it to greater magnetive power. Also called a "field coil." Magnet Core A bar of iron or a lamination of insulated, thin iron plates around which the magnet coil is wound.
