Question: 1 / 1030

A voltage regulator controls generator output by?

Varying resistance in the circuit

Varying current flow to the mechanical parts

Varying current flow to generator field coil

A is incorrect because varying resistance in the circuit would have no direct effect on the generator output.

B is incorrect because varying current flow to the mechanical parts would not directly control the generator output. The mechanical parts of a generator are responsible for converting the mechanical energy into electrical energy, but they do not directly regulate the output.

D is incorrect because switching the circuit on and off would completely stop the flow of current to the generator, which would not regulate the output.
