Formula for induced EMF in rotating coil

ε=BANωsin(ωt)\varepsilon = BAN\omega \sin(\omega t)

What does BB represent in ε=BANωsin(ωt)\varepsilon = BAN\omega \sin(\omega t)?

Magnetic flux density

What does the sine function indicate in induced EMF?

EMF is alternating (direction changes over time)

AC on oscilloscope with time-base on

Sinusoidal wave

AC on oscilloscope with time-base off

Vertical line

RMS voltage from peak voltage

Vrms=V02V_{\text{rms}} = \frac{V_0}{\sqrt{2}}

RMS current from peak current

Irms=I02I_{\text{rms}} = \frac{I_0}{\sqrt{2}}

Frequency from time period

f=1Tf = \frac{1}{T}

Peak voltage (V0)(V_0) definition

Highest point of waveform from zero position

UK mains supply RMS voltage

230 V
