It's the effect (current and voltage) on a conductor rotating through a magnetic field that is sinusoidal, not the magnetic field its self. I think this what you mean?

Not sure what you want.

Here is a circle that could represent a generator turning and then plotted over time.

Hello Guest,

My earlier answer disappeared in cyberspace.

Look at a graph which depicts Voltage output, against shaft angular rotation, over a time period of greater than 1 rotation of that alternator shaft.

Next question please.

Kind Regards....
