is the textbook wrong? (1 Viewer)

[anonymoushehe]

if the coil is rotating clockwise, the magnetic flux increases, so to oppose the increase wouldnt current need to be clockwise to oppose the change in flux? so current would leave terminal A instead of B assuming conventional current, so the positive terminal is A?

yea what you've said is correct but I believe the textbook's explanation is also correct - current needs to be clockwise to oppose the rotation so it goes L to K. But in the context of an outside circuit (imagine the two terminals as the two terminals of a battery connected to a light bulb), current flows into A and out from B (while inside the generator current flows out of A and into B) so A is - and B is +
