Question

An AC generator produces a sinusoidal emf. At what angle does the emf become zero?
Options
A 0° and 180°
Correct Answer
B 90° and 270°
C 45° and 135°
D Never zero
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The emf is given by ε = NBAω sin θ. It is zero when sin θ = 0, which occurs at θ = 0°, 180°, 360°, etc.
