AC Generator — Rotating Coil

A rectangular coil of NN turns, area AA, rotates at angular velocity ω\omega in uniform field BB. Flux: Φ=NBAcos(ωt)\Phi = NBA\cos(\omega t) (taking θ=0\theta = 0 at t=0t = 0 when coil plane is perpendicular to BB). Induced EMF: ε=NBAωsin(ωt)=ε0sin(ωt)\varepsilon = NBA\omega\sin(\omega t) = \varepsilon_0\sin(\omega t) where ε0=NBAω\varepsilon_0 = NBA\omega is the peak EMF. The EMF is maximum when the coil plane is parallel to BB (ωt=π/2\omega t = \pi/2) and zero when perpendicular to BB (ωt=0\omega t = 0). Frequency f=ω/(2π)f = \omega/(2\pi), period T=2π/ωT = 2\pi/\omega.
