Alternating Current: the current direction changes with time. Compare with DC in which the current direction stays the same with respect to time, the magn

itude of the current may change. A typical case in AC: I = IMAXSIN(ωt). A power source normally is described as V = VMAXSIN(ωt).

Generation: rotating wire loops in magnetic field generate AC power. (demo: 32.18)

Main advantages: for power generation (actually the magnet turns) and transmission.

External torque turns the wire loop at an angular velocity ω. The magnetic flux through this loop is

ΦB = BACOS(ωt)

So the induced emf is

When this emf is applied to a resistor, from Ohm’s Law, the current through this resistor isI = IMAXSIN(ωt), With IMAX = VMAX/R.
