How many rotations per minute must a 2 pole generator to produce 60 hertz?

To produce 60 hertz, a 2-pole generator must complete one full rotation for each cycle of alternating current. Since there are 60 cycles in one second, the generator must rotate 60 times per second. To convert this to rotations per minute, you multiply by 60, resulting in 3600 RPM (rotations per minute) for the generator.
