Voltage Generation in Single Conductor Motor — Lesson 4

This lesson covers the concept of voltage generation in conductors, specifically focusing on single conductor motors. The lesson explains how voltage is generated when a conductor moves through a magnetic field, and how the voltage changes depending on the direction of the field. It also discusses the concept of flux density and how it affects the voltage generated. For instance, if the flux density is distributed in a rectangular manner, the voltage will also be rectangular and alternate. The lesson further explores the concept of induced voltage and how it varies depending on the flux density distribution. For example, if the flux density distribution is sinusoidal, the induced voltage will also be sinusoidal.
