20N.2.HL.TZ0.b(i)

The diagram shows an alternating current generator with a rectangular coil rotating at a constant frequency in a uniform magnetic field.

The graph shows how the generator output voltage $V$ varies with time $t$ .

Electrical power produced by the generator is delivered to a consumer some distance away.

The average power output of the generator is $8.5 \times 10^{5} W$ . Calculate the root mean square (rms) value of the generator output current.
