Theory

Based on Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction:

• ε = -N × dΦ/dt
• Generated voltage: V(t) = V_peak × sin(ωt)
• V_peak = N × B × A × ω

Usage

1. Click Start to begin the simulation
2. Adjust sliders to change generator parameters
3. Observe how changes affect the output voltage waveform
4. Click Stop to pause the simulation

Educational Purpose

This simulator demonstrates:

• Electromagnetic induction principles
• AC voltage generation
• Relationship between mechanical rotation and electrical frequency
• Effect of magnetic field strength on output voltage
• Importance of coil turns in voltage generation
