AI Generated Solution

To explain why rotating either the coil or the magnet in a generator induces an electric current, we can break down the process into a series of steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Components**: - A generator consists of a coil of wire (called the armature) and a magnet (which can be either a permanent magnet or an electromagnet). The coil is placed in the magnetic field created by the magnet. 2. **Principle of Electromagnetic Induction**: ...

When the coils of an electric generator rotate in a megnatic field,

A magnet is in form of a bar as shown in the figure. The line joining the center of the bar and the center of the coil (central axis) is perpendicular to the plane of the oil. Which of the following motions of the bar will not induce electric current in the coil?

A coil of 1500 turns and mean area of 500 cm^2 is held perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field of induction 2 xx 10^(-4) T . The resistance of the coil is 40 ohms. When the coil is rotated through 180^@ in the magnetic field in 0.2 seconds the average electric current (in mA) induced is
