==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
A [[dynamo]] is a device used to generate [[Direct Current|Direct electrical current]].
===About Dynamos===
: A [[dynamo]] is just a [[D.C. Motor]] working in reverse. By spinning the [[D.C. Motor|motor]] it generates a [[Direct Current|direct current]].
: [[Dynamo]]s use the [[Generator Effect|generator effect]] to generate and [[Electrical Current|electrical current]].
: [[Dynamo]]s are used simple [[circuit]]s which charge [[Electrical Cell|cells]] and [[battery|batteries]].

| style="height:20px; width:200px; text-align:center;" |This [[diagram]] shows a [[dynamo]] which has a moving coil of [[wire]] rotating through a [[Magnetic Field|magnetic field]].
Due to the split ring commutator the direction of the [[Electrical Current|current]] remains constant at the output.
