Operation of electric generators is based on emf electromotive force

Whenever a conductor moves relative to magnetic field, voltage is induced in the conductor.


 


Particularly, if a coil is spinning in a magnetic field, then the two sides of the coil move in opposite directions, and the voltages induced in each side add.


 


Numerically the instantaneous value of the resulting voltage (called electromotive force, emf)


 


is equal to the minus of the rate of change of magnetic flux Φ times the number of turns in the coil: V=−N•∆Φ/Δt. This relationship has been found experimentally and is referred to as Faraday’s law. The minus sign here is due to Lenz law, which states that the direction of the emf is such that the magnetic field from the induced current opposes the change in the flux which produces this emf. Lenz law is connected to the conservation of energy.


 


For clarity in the above animation a single rectangular conductor loop is shown instead of an armature with a set of windings on an iron core.


 


Since the rate of magnetic flux change through the coil that spins at a constant rate changes sinusoidally with the rotation, the voltage generated at the coil terminals is also sinusoidal (AC).

 


If an external circuit is connected to the coil’s terminals, this voltage will create current through this circuit, resulting in energy being delivered to the load.
