Design an experiment to predict and test the output from a simple AC generator. Planning A simple ac generator will produce an alternating emf of magnitude V0 and frequency f. The AC generator is shown below, A manufacturer of AC generators has asked you to help design a clockwork torch of peak power 1W. The bulb is powered by a hand driven AC generator that is rotated at 2Hz. It is assumed that the light bulb has a constant resistance once in use because it doesn't have time to cool down as the current alternates. The manufacturer has provided you with a horseshoe magnet of approximate field strength 50mT and gap 20cm, a selection of commercially available reels of copper wire of different diameters and the light bulb. The rest of the material necessary to build the generator is provided by the school. The coil ABCD is square. Using classroom apparatus you must...
