5. What is AC generator? Derive an expression for the instantaneous emf in AC generator.


Ans: It is a device used for converting mechanical energy in to electric energy.

Let us consider a rectangular coil of ‘n’ turns of area A is rotating in a uniform magnetic field of
strength B with constant angular velocity ‘w’ (w = 2 π f) magnetic flux linking round the
coil at any instant of time is given by, Φ = n A B cos θ
Where ‘θ’ is the angle made by the normal to the plain of coil with the field direction
and θ = w t , ... Φ = n A B cos w t
As the coil rotates with uniform angular velocity ‘w’ normal to the magnetic field, magnetic flux
linking round the coil changes therefore according to Faraday’s law , an emf is induced in the
coil. This emf is given by,
e = - dΦ / dt

e = - d (n A B cos w t) / dt

e = - n A B d (cos wt)
dt

e = - n A B (-w sin wt)

e = n A B w sin wt

Emf is maximum when sin wt = 1. This emf is called as peak value of emf or maximum
value of emf. It is denoted by ‘ e0’
e0 = n A B w when, sin wt = ± 1
.. . (e = V , eo = V0 )
V = V0 sin wt

TRANSFORMER: Transformer is a device used to step up or step down alternating voltages.
Principle:: It works on the principle of mutual induction.
Working:
As input is alternating, at every alteration magnetic flux linking
round the secondary changes. Therefore an emf of the same
nature is induced in the secondary. The magnitude of output
voltage depends on number of turns in primary and secondary
coils.
Let Vp and Vs are the input and output voltages. np and ns be the
number of turns in primary and secondary.
Then it can be shown that
Vs / Vp = ns / np = T
Where, T is a constant of the transformer called as turns ratio.

Dual Nature of matter & Radiation

2) For a photometal there is a minimum frequency of incident radiation below which there is no
photoelectric effect, this minimum frequency is called ‘threshold frequency (υ 0 )’.
3) Above threshold frequency, kinetic energy of photoelectrons is directly proportional to the
frequency of incident radiation. (K.E α υ )
4) Above threshold frequency, number of photoelectrons (and hence photoelectric current) is
directly proportional to the intensity of incident radiation.
5) Above threshold frequency, there is a minimum negative potential of the anode for which
photoelectric current becomes zero. This minimum negative potential of anode is called as
“stopping potential” or “retarding potential”.

photon and electron inside the metal.
2) If ν < ν0, then ½ mv2 max is negative, which is not possible. Therefore, for
photoelectric emission to take place ν > ν0.

emitted per second is directly proportional to the intensity of incident light.
