AC Voltage: Is 110V Always Supplied?

AI Thread Summary
AC voltage in the US is typically supplied at 110V, but fluctuations can occur due to changes in load and generator output. The voltage induced by the generator varies during the coil's rotation, which can affect the voltage supplied to appliances. When the coil is positioned vertically, it may influence current flow, potentially causing temporary interruptions in appliance operation. The relationship between the magnetic field, number of coils, and rotation rate is crucial for maintaining consistent voltage. Overall, while 110V is the standard, actual voltage can vary under different conditions.

When the generator produces electricity,during the revolutions of the coil,the voltage induced is changing.If the voltage supply of a certain country is 110V, will the voltage supplied is NOT 110V sometimes?

Also, the current induced when the coil is set vertically,will the appliance stop working temporarily?

If the rotating coil sweeps thru the magnetic field,
then the +/- charges can be separated by B ...
by q v x B Lorentz Force on + and - charges.

I don't know what you mean by "coil set vertically".

In the US, the AC Voltage is "supposed to be" 110V.

The magnetic field, number of coils, and rotation rate
are set up to produce that Voltage.
Which do you think changes when there's a big load?

If V_peak at the generator is the same, how could
V_peak at the home be less?
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
