text: ## How is emf produced in alternator?
  
  Typically, a rotating magnet, called the rotor turns within a stationary set of conductors wound in coils on an iron core, called the stator. The field cuts across the conductors, generating an induced EMF (electromotive force), as the mechanical input causes the rotor to turn.
  
  ## What are the 3 main requirements for electromagnetic induction?
  
  What is this electromagnetic induction of which you speak?
  
  • The size of the magnetic field. The more flux lines there are, the more flux lines there are for the conductor to cut.
  • The active length of the conductor.
  • The speed at which the conductor passes through the field.
  
  What are the 3 requirements for voltage production by magnetism?
  
  Strength of the electromagnet (the stronger the magnetic field, the greater the induced voltage) Speed of rotation of the conductor or magnet (the faster the rotation, the greater the induced voltage)
  
  ### What are the three methods of producing induced emf?
  
  The induced emf can be produced by changing :
  
  • (i) the magnetic induction (B),
  • (ii) area enclosed by the coil (A) and.
  • (iii) the orientation of the coil (θ) with respect to the magnetic field.
  
  ### What is the formula for emf of an alternator?
  
  The emf induced by the alternator or synchronous generator is three-phase alternating in nature. Z = 2T, where T is the number of coils or turns per phase. One turn has two coil sides or conductor as shown in the below diagram.
  
  What is the equation for alternating emf?
  
  The equation of an alternating emf is V=120sin(100πt)cos(100πt) Volt.
  
  #### What conditions must happen for electricity to be generated?
  
  To produce an electric current, three things are needed: a supply of electric charges (electrons) which are free to flow, some form of push to move the charges through the circuit and a pathway to carry the charges. The pathway to carry the charges is usually a copper wire.
  
  #### What is Fleming’s left hand rule?
  
  Fleming’s left – hand rule states that if we stretch the thumb, middle finger and the index finger of the left hand in such a way that they make an angle of 90 degrees(Perpendicular to each other) and the conductor placed in the magnetic field experiences Magnetic force.
  
  What are 3 ways to create a voltage difference?
  
  If there is a surplus of electrons at one end of a conductor and a deficiency at the other end, a current flows. Certain devices create this difference in charge so current flows….Electromotive Force (EMF) and Potential Difference
  
  • Friction.
  • Chemical.
  • Pressure.
  • Heat.
  • Light.
  • Magnetism.
  
  ## What is the difference between voltage and EMF?
  
  Voltage is the potential difference between two points which causes current to flow. It is the amount of energy per unit charge while moving between two points. EMF or electromotive force is the amount of energy supply to the charge by battery cell. The intensity of voltage is lower than EMF and non-constant.
  
  ## Which method is used to induce an emf?
  
  1. Emf induced by changing the magnetic induction. The magnetic induction can be changed by moving a magnet either towards or away from a coil and thus an induced emf is produced in the coil.
  
  What is the basic cause of induced emf?
  
  The most basic cause of an induced EMF is change in magnetic flux. Placing a current carrying coil that is moving constantly in a stable and static magnetic field. This will cause a change in the area vector and hence, EMF will be generated.
  
  ### How is EMF induced in an alternator?
  
  How is emf induced in an alternator? EMF or electromotive force, i.e.Voltage, is generated when the magnets inside the alternator turn within the wire coil of the alternator. What is emf equation of three phase transformers?
  
  ### Where can I find the induced EMF equation?
  
  This induced EMF can be found by the EMF equation of the alternator which as follow: Lets, P = No. of poles. Z = No. of Conductors or Coil sides in series/phase i.e. Z = 2T…Where T is the number of coils or turns per phase (Note that one turn or coil has two ends or sides)
  
  What kind of armature winding is used in alternator?
  
  Types of Armature Winding of Alternator. There are different types of armature winding used in alternator. The windings can be classified as. Single phase and poly phase armature winding. Concentrated winding and distributed winding. Half coiled and whole coiled winding. Single layer and double layer winding.
  
  #### How does the flux of an alternator relate to the winding?
  
  The useful flux which links with both windings is due to combined mmf of the armature winding and field winding. When the armature winding of an alternator carries current then an mmf sets in armature. This armature mmf reacts with field mmf producing the resultant flux, which differs from flux of field winding alone.
  
  #### How is voltage regulation of alternator by EMF method?
  
  The voltage regulation of alternator by EMF method involves the EMF quantities of all the armature parameters (armature resistance, Armature leakage reactance, armature reaction). The drop due to armature reaction is not considered, because it does not occur due to any of the physical element but due to interaction of armature flux with main flux.
  
  How is alternating emf generated in a coil?
  
  EMF is generated in a coil when there is a relative movement between the coil and the magnetic field. Alternating emf is generated if the change in flux-linkage of the coil is cyclic. Since electromechanical energy conversion requires relative motion between the field and armature winding, either of these could be placed on the stator or rotor.
  
  ## Where are the conductors located in an alternator?
  
  In Alternator, we are having a large number of conductors which are systematically placed over the armature to obtain a smooth curve. In actual construction, the armature conductors (source of emf) form the stationary part (stator) and the field windings (for producing flux) are placed on the rotating part (rotor).
  
  ## What kind of field system does an alternator have?
  
  Alternators consists of a dc heteropolar field system as in a dc machine and a three phase armature winding whose coil arrangement is quite different from that of a d.c. machine. In this unit, first we will consider the constructional features and EMF equation of alternator.
