An emergency flashlight (Figure 4) has a crank handle connected to an alternating current generator, rechargeable batteries, and LEDs. Turning the handle rotates a permanent magnet in the presence of a stationary coil, producing current to charge the batteries.
At a reasonable cranking rate, the unit generates 6.2 V. Calculate the current in the circuit if the resistance is 310 Ω.
