Slip rings maintain constant contact with the same sides of the coil As one side of the coil moves up through the magnetic field, a potential difference is induced (created) in one direction. As ...

In a dynamo, a split ring commutator changes the coil connections every half turn. As the induced potential difference is about to change direction, the connections are reversed. This means that ...
