Answer Details
An a.c dynamo and a d.c dynamo are two different types of generators that produce different types of currents. An a.c dynamo produces alternating current while a d.c dynamo produces direct current. To correct the error of producing a d.c dynamo instead of an a.c dynamo, the commutator should be replaced with slip rings. The commutator is a device that converts the alternating current produced by the dynamo into direct current. Since the dynamo was inadvertently made to produce direct current, there is no need for a commutator, and it should be replaced with slip rings which allow the output to be collected as alternating current.
