A generator has 400 turns, square, measuring 22 cm on each side. Determine the voltage that it produces if it rotates with a frequency of 60 rev / s in a magnetic field of 0.5 T.

A 400-loop circular armature coil with a diameter of 12.2 cm rotates at 150 rev/s in a uniform magnetic field of strength 0.23 T. Part A: What is the rms voltage output of the generator? Express your answer using two significant figures. Vrms = ________ V Part B: What would you do to the rotation frequency in order to double the rms voltage output? The rms voltage doesn't depend on the rotation frequency. Thus, we would only halve the magnetic field strength to double the rms voltage. We would halve the rotation frequency to 75 rev/s. We would double the rotation frequency to 300 rev/s. The rms voltage doesn't depend on the rotation frequency. Thus, we would only double the number of loops to double the rms voltage.
