Question 1

Identify and explain the formula used to express the frequency of an ac generator.

Accepted Answer

f = P X S/60
where
f = frequency, in hertz
P = number of pairs of poles
S = speed, in revolutions per minute (r/min)
60 = number of seconds in one minute

Question 2

The use of ____________________'s generator rule shows that an alternating voltage is generated in the coil as it rotates.

Accepted Answer

Fleming

Question 3

Define alternating voltage.

Accepted Answer

Alternating voltage may be defined as an electromotive force that changes continuously with time. It rises from zero to a maximum value in one direction and decreases back to zero. It then rises to the same maximum value in the opposite direction and again decreases to zero. These values are repeated again and again at equal intervals of time.
