As a coil spins at constant angular velocity in a uniform magnetic field, the flux through it varies as a cosine of time, so by Faraday's law the induced EMF varies as a sine of time — the working principle of an AC generator.

Consider a rectangular coil of NN turns, each of area AA, rotating with constant angular velocity ω\omega about an axis perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field B⃗\vec{B}.

Let θ=ωt\theta=\omega t be the angle between the normal to the coil and B⃗\vec{B} at time tt (taking θ=0\theta=0 at t=0t=0, when the coil plane is perpendicular to B, i.e. flux is maximum).

Flux through the coil at time t:

Φ(t)=NBAcos⁡(ωt)\Phi(t)=NBA\cos(\omega t)

By Faraday's law, the induced EMF is:

e=−dΦdt=−NBAddt[cos⁡(ωt)]=NBA ωsin⁡(ωt)e=-\dfrac{d\Phi}{dt}=-NBA\dfrac{d}{dt}\left[\cos(\omega t)\right]=NBA\,\omega\sin(\omega t)

Writing e0=NBAωe_0=NBA\omega (the peak/maximum EMF), this gives:

e=e0sin⁡(ωt)e=e_0\sin(\omega t)
