In an AC generator, the frequency of induced EMF depends on:

Answer: Angular velocity of coil rotation.

  • A Strength of magnetic field
  • B Number of turns
  • C Angular velocity of coil rotation
  • D All of above

Correct answer: C. Angular velocity of coil rotation

Explanation: Frequency f = omega/(2 pi) where omega is angular velocity of rotation. f depends on rotation speed.

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.
