"The electric current passes from the slip rings, through the brushes, and to the collection device."
Explanation: In an AC generator the induced current in the rotating coil is carried to the stationary external circuit by rotating slip rings that contact stationary brushes; the brushes then pass the current to the external (collection) device. (In a DC generator the commutator performs a similar role, but the direction and switching differ.)
