The brushes are the component that finally delivers the induced current from the rotating coil assembly to the external (stationary) circuit.

An AC generator (alternator) converts mechanical energy into electrical energy using electromagnetic induction. Its main parts are: the field magnet (produces the magnetic field), the armature coil (in which the emf is induced as it rotates), slip rings (two continuous metal rings fixed to the rotating shaft, each connected to one end of the coil, and rotating along with it), and brushes (stationary carbon or metal contacts that press lightly against the slip rings).
