Chapter 31, Problem 31.45P
In a 250-turn automobile alternator, the magnetic flux in each turn is ΦB, = 2.50 × 10–4 cos ωt, where is in webers, ω is the angular speed of the alternator, and t is in seconds. The alternator is geared to rotate three times for each engine revolution. When the engine is running at an angular speed of 1.00 × 103 rev/min, determine (a) the induced emf in the alternator as a function of time and (b) the maximum emf in the alternator.
