This is just for personal "background knowledge". I never had any "power generation" classes in my curriculum.
In an alternator (or is the preferred term AC generator), what are the relationships between shaft speed, voltage, current, frequency and "number of turns of wire" ? Obviously wire size/resistance comes into play also.
I know this varies with the basic design of the rotating field and the stator windings so please state your assumptions.
If there is any online references, please point them out.
