Question

What type of current does a rotating loop in a magnetic field (an electric generator) produce, according to the document?
Options
A Direct Current (DC)
B Pulsating DC
C Alternating Current (AC)
Correct Answer
D Zero current due to equilibrium
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 23 explicitly states: 'This is an AC (alternating current) generator.' The sin(ωt) dependence also indicates an alternating current.

Hint

Look for the final conclusion in the 'Rotating Loop - The Electricity Generator' section.
