Electromagnetic effects — practice question

Fig. 9.1 illustrates the arrangement of an alternating current (a.c.) generator. The coil makes one full turn every $0.020\,\text{s}$.
(a(i))[2]

Using the axes in Fig. 9.2, sketch how the generator’s voltage output changes with time over a $0.040\,\text{s}$ interval.

(a(ii))[1]

On your graph in Fig. 9.2, mark a point labelled A to show a time at which the coil is vertical.

(b(i))[3]

Explain why the voltmeter gives a reading.

(b(ii))[2]

State the name of the component labelled X in Fig. 9.3 and describe its effect.
