Quick Summary

An exciter is a device or person that excites or stirs up something. In electronics, an exciter can refer to a generator or battery that provides the electric current needed to create a magnetic field in another generator or motor. It can also be an electrical oscillator that produces the carrier frequency for a radio transmitter. Another application is an exciter lamp, which is used in motion-picture projectors to read the sound track and generate the signal for the loudspeaker. A self-exciter is a dynamo whose magnetic fields are energized by its own output. The term can also describe a person who incites public feelings, particularly discontent.1234
