Alternating-Current Circuits 12.1 AC Sources In Chapter 10 we learned that changing magnetic flux can induce an emf according to Faraday’s law of induction. In particular, if a coil rotates in the presence of a magnetic field, the induced emf varies sinusoidally with time and leads to an alternating current (AC), and provides a source of AC power. The symbol for an AC voltage source is An example of an AC source is 0 V t( ) =V sinωt (12.1.1) where the maximum valueV is called the amplitude. The voltage varies between and since a sine function varies between +1 and −1. A graph of voltage as a function of time is shown in Figure 12.1.1. 0 V0 −V0 Figure 12.1.1 Sinusoidal voltage source The sine function is periodic in time. This means that the value of the voltage at time t will be exactly the same at a later time t t ′ = +T where T is the period.
