Answer / manoj dubey
Though term "Generator" can be used any type of generation
whether it is AC or DC but it is generally referred for DC
generator because in previousely generation was only in DC
but when AC become normal source of electrical supply than
Alternator came in picture and Alternator only generate in
AC. But term "Generator" can be used for both type of
generator.

output is taken directly from the conductors..so the output
is DC..
in alternator the commutator is used
so the output is AC
