An AC generator has 80 rectangular loops on its armature. Each loop is 12 cm long and 8 cm wide. The armature rotates at 1200 rpm about an axis parallel to the long side. If the loop rotates in a uniform magnetic field of 0.30 T, which is perpendicular to the axis of rotation, what will be the maximum output voltage of this generator?

Faraday's law: A changing magnetic field induces an emf.

Lenz's law:  current produced by an induced emf moves in a direction so that its magnetic field opposes the original change in flux.

The three ways that an emf can be induced in a loop of wire.
1. by changing the magnetic field
2. by changing the area of the loop in the field
3. by changing the loop's orientation with respect to the field
