SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the confusion surrounding "Lorentz’s law of voltage" in the context of AC generators. The user successfully solved problem 22 using the formula E = NAB(2πf), resulting in a voltage of 141.372 volts. However, they express uncertainty regarding problem 21, suspecting a typo and questioning whether it refers to Lenz's Law instead. The user notes that Lenz's Law, expressed as E = -N(dΦ/dt), aligns with their understanding and solution for problem 22, indicating a potential connection to Faraday's Law of electromagnetic induction.
