97. A split-ring commutator is used to
   

A.

decrease the voltage in a transformer
   

A split-ring commutator is used to change the direction of the current going through the armature of a DC motor.  This allows the armature to spin the same direction because the torque acts in the same direction all the time.

An AC motor uses two commutators. The direction of the current automatically changes because it is an alternating current.

The Correct Answer is B.

B.

keep the torque acting in the same direction for a DC motor
   

C.

keep the torque acting the same direction for an AC motor
    

D.

increase the voltage in a transformer
