Question
**Problem Statement:**

The field coils of a six-poles D.C. Generator, each having 600 turns, are connected in series. On the excitation of the field, there is a magnetic flux of 0.024 Wb/pole. If the field circuit is opened in 0.24 seconds and residual magnetism is 0.0024 Wb/pole, calculate the average voltage induced across field terminals.

**Solution Explanation:**

To calculate the average voltage induced across the field terminals when the circuit is opened, we use the formula for the average induced emf (electromotive force) in a coil, which is derived from Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction:

\[ \text{Average emf} = -N \left(\frac{\Delta \Phi}{\Delta t}\right) \]

Where:
- \( N \) is the total number of turns in the coil.
- \( \Delta \Phi \) is the change in magnetic flux.
- \( \Delta t \) is the time interval during which the change occurs.

**Given:**

- Number of poles (\( P \)) = 6
- Number of turns per pole = 600
- Initial magnetic flux per pole = 0.024 Wb
- Residual magnetic flux per pole = 0.0024 Wb
- Time interval (\( \Delta t \)) = 0.24 s

**Calculation:**

1. **Calculate Total Number of Turns:**

   \[ N_{\text{total}} = P \times \text{Turns per pole} = 6 \times 600 = 3600 \]

2. **Calculate Change in Magnetic Flux (\( \Delta \Phi \)):**

   \[ \Delta \Phi = (\text{Initial Flux} - \text{Residual Flux}) \times P = (0.024 - 0.0024) \times 6 = 0.1296 \text{ Wb} \]

3. **Calculate Average Induced EMF:**

   \[ \text{Average emf} = -3600 \times \left(\frac{0.1296}{0.24}\right) \]

   \[ \text{Average emf} = -3600 \times 0.54 = -1944 \text{ V} \]

The negative sign indicates the direction of the induced emf as per Lenz's law
