Question

- Electromagnetic Induction to create AC Power -

Three questions regarding an electric generator AC power source that I cannot decide on the correct response. Any help is appreciated.

1) When an AC generator is under load operating a circuit, the electrons in the circuit are attracted to the source terminal that faces the North Pole / faces the South pole / is positively charged / is negatively charged.

2) For one cycle, the voltage squared of an AC power source averages to more than half of its maximum value / less than half of its maximum value / zero.

3) For one cycle, the voltage of an AC power source averages to more than half of its maximum value / less than half of its maximum value / zero.

Thank you.

Explanation / Answer

(2) For one cycle, the voltage squared of an AC power source averages to less than half of its maximum value

(3) For one cycle, the voltage of an AC power source averages to more than half of its maximum value.

[The voltage is 0.693 times the peak value. So it is more than half of the peak value. When this is squared it turns out to be 0.48 which is less than half of the peak value]
