Output of an Alternator (AC Generator)

• What is the output of an alternator called?

  AC generator
• What does the induced potential difference (V) represent?

  It represents the voltage generated by the alternator
• At what angle is the coil positioned in scenario A?

  0°
• How does the coil's movement at 0° affect the induced potential difference?

  It induces a potential difference
• At what angle is the coil positioned in scenario B?

  90°
• What is the effect of the coil moving at 90° on the induced potential difference?

  It reaches its maximum potential difference
• At what angle is the coil positioned in scenario C?

  180°
• How does the coil's movement at 180° affect the induced potential difference?

  It induces a potential difference
• At what angle is the coil positioned in scenario D?

  270°
• What is the effect of the coil moving at 270° on the induced potential difference?

  It reaches its maximum potential difference
• What happens to the induced potential difference as the coil moves through different angles?

  • At 0°: Induced potential difference occurs
  • At 90°: Maximum induced potential difference
  • At 180°: Induced potential difference occurs
  • At 270°: Maximum induced potential difference
• In what direction does the induced potential difference travel?

  It travels in the opposite direction
• What does the coil's movement parallel to the magnetic field direction indicate?

  It induces a potential difference
• What is the significance of the maximum induced potential difference?

  It indicates the highest voltage generated
• How does the coil's position affect the induced potential difference?

  Different angles yield different potential differences
