    The document describes an experiment using an alternating current (AC) generator. A student rotates the handle of the generator, causing the coil to rotate. As the coil rotates, it generates an electromotive force (emf) between the terminals. When the coil is horizontal, the emf reaches a point labeled P on a graph. If the student turns the handle more quickly, the emf increases in frequency and amplitude. When the terminals are connected to a transformer, the changing emf in the primary coil causes the magnetic field and output in the secondary coil to change correspondingly. Power losses are lower when transmitting electricity at higher voltages because the current is lower for the same power transmitted.
