How do you generate alternating current with a generator?
How do alternating-current circuits work?
- Alternating-Current Circuits 12.1 AC Sources In Chapter 10 we learned that changing magnetic flux can induce an emf according to Faraday’s law of induction. In particular, if a coil rotates in the presence of a magnetic field, the induced emf varies sinusoidally with time and leads to an alternating current (AC), and provides a source of AC power.
What are the applications of alternating current in everyday life?
- Application of Alternating Current AC is the form of current that are mostly used in home appliances. Some of the examples of alternating current include audio signal, radio signal, etc. An alternating current has a wide advantage over DC as AC is able to transmit power over large distances without great loss of energy.
How do you make a simple AC generator?
- A simple AC generator is pictured below. Rotate a magnet inside the iron core with some coils of wire wound around the core. The magnetic flux induces an alternating current in the coil. Connect the coil to a meter or a load. Wind a coil with insulated wire around the cardboard box made as pictured.
