An electric generator consists of a rectangular coil of wire rotating about its longitudinal axis which is perpendicular to a magnetic field of B = 1.60 × 10-2 T. The coil measures 12.00 cm by 21.00 cm and 100.00 turns of wire. The ends of the wire are connected to an external circuit. At what speed must you rotate this coil in order to induce an alternating emf of amplitude 11.00 V between the ends of the wire? Give you answer in rev/s. Do not enter the units.

Coil area A = 0.0252 m^2
w = V/(NBA) = 272.817 rad/s = 43.42 rev/s.
