Car braking system You are an inventor and want to develop a braking system that not only stops the car but also converts the original kinetic energy to some other useful energy. One of your ideas is to connect a rotor coil (the rotating coil of the generator) to the turning axle of the car. When you press on the brake pedal, a switch turns on a steady electric current to a stationary coil (an electromagnet called the stator) that produces a steady magnetic field in which the rotor turns. You now have a generator that produces an alternating current and an induced emf—electric power. Make a simple drawing of the rotor and stator at one instant and determine the direction of the magnetic force exerted on the rotor. Does this force help brake the car? Explain.
