A generator has 200 turns, each of area 0.001 m2, and rotates at 50 Hz in a magnetic field of 0.5 T. Its coil resistance is 10 Ω and it is connected to a 10 Ω load. The power delivered to the load is approximately:

Answer: 12.3 W.

  • A 6.17 W
  • B 24.7 W
  • C 12.3 W
  • D 49.4 W

Correct answer: C. 12.3 W

Explanation: E0 = 2πfNBA = 2π × 50 × 200 × 0.5 × 0.001 = 31.4 V, so Erms = 22.2 V. Total resistance is 20 Ω, giving I = 1.11 A. Load power = I2R = 12.3 W.

EMF is Induced Only While Flux is ChangingΦmagnet approachingmagnet stationary inside coilEMFEMF ≠ 0 (flux changing)EMF = 0 (flux constant)t

As a magnet approaches a coil, flux rises steadily and a constant non-zero EMF is induced (Faraday's law). Once the magnet stops moving, flux stays constant and the induced EMF drops to zero - EMF only exists while flux is actively changing.

Concept context

Faraday's and Lenz's laws, motional EMF, self/mutual inductance, eddy currents, and the AC generator - how a changing magnetic flux creates an electric current.
