SUMMARY
The strength of the magnetic field in an AC generator can be calculated using the formula E = N * n * φ, where E is the electromotive force (emf), N is the number of turns, n is the rotational speed in revolutions per minute (rpm), and φ is the magnetic flux in Webers. In this case, the armature has 49 turns and rotates at 382 rpm, resulting in a magnetic flux of 18.35 Webers. To convert this to Tesla, one must use the relationship 1 T = 1 Wb/m², which requires knowing the area of the coil.
