Field Current in DC Generator Formulas

Field current is current that flows through the field winding, a coil of wire that produces the magnetic field. It is used to control magnetic field which affects the voltage output of the generator. And is denoted by I_f. Field Current is usually measured using the Ampere for Electric Current. Note that the value of Field Current is always negative.
