About this Simulation

This 3D simulator models how alternating current generators produce AC electricity through electromagnetic induction. Students can observe a rotating coil moving through a magnetic field, see how the induced voltage changes over time, and explore the relationship between rotation angle and output waveform. Adjust rotation speed, coil size, and viewing angle to deepen understanding.

Learning objectives: Understand how mechanical rotation generates alternating electric current | Visualise the connection between coil position and AC voltage output | Investigate how generator design parameters affect AC waveform characteristics
