Need help with a magnetic field question

SUMMARY

The peak voltage generated by rotating a coil in a magnetic field is directly proportional to the angular frequency of the rotation. This relationship is established due to the rapid change of magnetic flux that occurs with increased frequency. The mechanism of induced current is driven by the force experienced by free electrons in a conductor as a result of changing magnetic flux, not electric flux. Therefore, while higher frequency leads to a more rapid change in magnetic flux, it does not imply a corresponding increase in electric flux affecting the induced current.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electromagnetic induction principles
  • Familiarity with Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction

Ok the question is -- Why is the peak voltage generated by rotating a coil in a magnetic field proportional to the angular frequency of the rotation??

The answer i believe is the higher the frequency--> the more rapid change of magnetic flux.

can anybody concur this is correct and why the answer would not be higher frequency--> more rapid change of electric flux?

The mechanism of induced current involves the force experienced by the free electrons in a conductor due to changing magnetic flux. It can be achieved by rotating the coil in the magnetic field. The change in electric flux does not contribute to the current in the circuit.
