A coil with turns given magnetic field, time find the emf induced in the coil

AI Thread Summary
A coil with 240 turns and an area of 13.7 cm² is rotated from perpendicular to parallel with the Earth's magnetic field of 5.9×10−5 T over 3.70×10^-2 s. The total magnetic flux through the coil before rotation is calculated as 1.9×10^-5 WB, while after rotation it is 0 WB. The average emf induced in the coil is being calculated incorrectly; the correct formula is emf = -N * B * A / T. Users suggest re-evaluating the area conversion from cm² to m² and ensuring proper division by the time interval. Accurate calculations are essential for determining the correct induced emf.

A coil with 240 turns enclosing an area of 13.7 cm^2 is rotated in a time interval of 3.70×10^-2 s from a position where its plane is perpendicular to the Earth's magnetic field to one where its plane is parallel to the field. The Earth's magnetic field at the lab location is 5.9×10−5 T .

What is the total magnetic flux through the coil before it is rotated?
I found this answer its 1.9*10^-5 WB.

What is the total magnetic flux through the coil after it is rotated?
I found this answer its 0 WB.

What is the average emf induced in the coil?

I'm having trouble getting the right answer! I get 1.27*10^-7 but its wrong! Help Please!

Double check the exponents in this answer.

Good.

What is the average emf induced in the coil?

How did you get this?
 
the equation is emf = -N BA/T

-240 5.9*10^-5*.137/5.9*10^-5=3.28*10^-9 its still wrong

You have the correct formula, but you need to redo the calculation more carefully:
(1) You have the incorrect area. (Note that 1 cm^2 = 10^{-4} m^2.)
(2) Divide by the time interval.
 
Thank you!
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'
Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
