Question 1 Report

 (a) Define:

(i) reactance;

(ii) impedance in an a.c.

The diagram here illustrates an a.c. generator. When the coil is rotated, an e.m.f is induced in the coil.


(i) Explain why an e.m.f. is induced.

(ii) State the purpose of the slip-rings.

(iii) Name and state the law used to determine the direction of the induced current.

(iv) State two ways to increase the induced e.m.f.

 

(c) A lamp is rated 12 V. 6 W. Calculate the amount of energy transformed by the lamp in 5 minutes.
