Show that the rms\displaystyle \text{rms} output of an ac generator is Vrms=NABω/2\displaystyle V_{\text{rms}} = NAB\omega/\sqrt{2}.

Please show us what you have tried and exactly where you are stuck.

The induced emf is given by:

E=NBAωsinωt\displaystyle \mathscr{E} = NBA\omega\sin\omega t

The relation between Vrms\displaystyle V_{\text{rms}} and E\displaystyle \mathscr{E} is:

Vrms2=Eaverage2=N2B2A2ω2sinaverage2ωt\displaystyle V^2_{\text{rms}} = \mathscr{E}^2_{\text{average}} = N^2B^2A^2\omega^2\sin^2_{\text{average}}\omega t

0sin2ωt1\displaystyle 0 \leq \sin^2\omega t \leq 1

Then, it has an average value of 12\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}. This gives:

Vrms2=12N2B2A2ω2\displaystyle V^2_{\text{rms}} = \frac{1}{2}N^2B^2A^2\omega^2

Then,

Vrms=N2B2A2ω22=NBAω2\displaystyle V_{\text{rms}} = \sqrt{\frac{N^2B^2A^2\omega^2}{2}} = \textcolor{blue}{\frac{NBA\omega}{\sqrt{2}}}
