    This document describes the components and operation of an AC generator. It refers to a diagram of a rotating coil generator that has the following key features: - A rectangular coil that can be divided into four sides (AB, BC, CD, DA) with one side broken to connect to rings - Two brushes (1 and 2) that make contact with rings to provide a path for induced current to an external circuit - A magnetic field between two magnets directed from the north to south pole - The coil rotates at a constant speed within this magnetic field - Questions are asked about when current is induced as the coil rotates through different positions

    4. For the purpose of analyzing the rotating coil figure, the four
    sides of the rectangular coil of the AC generator will be
    referred to as sides AB, BC, CD, and DA. Side DA is broken
    to allow extension of the coil to the rings. The brushes,
    labeled 1 and 2, make sliding contact with the rings to
    provide a path for the induced current to travel to an
    external circuit (not shown) connected to the brushes. The
    magnetic field has a left-to-right direction (from the north
    pole to the south pole) in the space between the magnets in
    the rotating coil figure. It is assumed that the coil has a
    constant speed of rotation.

    a) When the generator coil is in position I shown in the


    rotating coil, is a current being generated? A current is
    produced if the wire cuts the magnetic field lines. Record
    your answer and the reason for your answer in your log.
    b) Use a graph similar to the one shown
    below. Plot a point at the origin of the
