(a) Induced emf from a rotating coil
Consider a rectangular coil of turns and area , rotating with constant angular velocity about an axis perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field . Let be the angle between the normal to the coil and at time (starting with the coil's plane along , i.e. at ).
The flux linked with the coil at time :
By Faraday's law, the induced emf is the negative rate of change of flux:
Writing (the peak emf):
So, as the relative orientation between the coil and the field changes with rotation, the induced emf varies sinusoidally with time — this is the principle of the AC generator.
(b) Mirror equation and lateral magnification
Setup. Consider a concave mirror forming a real image. Let the object be at distance from the pole , and its real, inverted image form at distance , both measured along the principal axis.
Derivation (using similar triangles). Let the object height be (object , with on the axis) and image height (image ). Triangles and (formed by the ray through the pole, which reflects making equal angles with the axis) are similar:
