How does alternating current produce a sine wave over time?

[psparky]

I don't know...I remember it the way I explained.

Please, feel free to explain it in a better way. I'm all ears and would love to learn.

Magnitude of peak voltage * Sin (2∏*frequency*time)

I guess that's what you are looking for. I still like my explanation better...but my mind works more like the former than that latter.

For the lad's understanding I thought it was close enough.

We also talked about degrees on a circle and radians, I'm just confused :(
Any help is appreciated!

Don't sweat on it. Poor Annabell was last sighted 8 days ago, fleeing in terror.

She is probably still running!

Oh boy ---- a stalker.
Dodgy material for 2012, yet we listened to it in the 60s(?) without batting an eye.

Poor Annabel - come back, we're not like that really.
