Induced EMF in N=181 Coil, A=.01955^2 at t=2.50, 7.50, 15.0, 25.0ms

In summary, the induced emf in the coil is 0 V at t = 2.50 ms and t = 15.0 ms, and 0.001303 V at t = 7.50 ms and t = 25.0 ms. The equation used to calculate the emf is N A cos \theta dB/dt, where N is the number of turns, A is the cross-sectional area of the coil, \theta is the angle between the magnetic field and the normal to the coil, and dB/dt is the slope of the magnetic field graph. The value for dB/dt should be in Tesla per second, so it may need to be converted if the given values are in milliseconds.

A magnetic field with the time dependence shown in Figure 23-38 is at right angles to a 181 turn circular coil with a diameter of 3.91 cm. What is the induced emf in the coil at each of the following times?

23-38.gif


(a) t = 2.50 ms
0 V
(b) t = 7.50 ms

(c) t = 15.0 ms
0 V
(d) t = 25.0 ms

N = 181
A = .01955[tex]^2[/tex]

i've gotten (a) and (c) right but am having a very hard time with (b) and (d). for (b) I've been doing [tex]\phi[/tex] = BA cos [tex]\theta[/tex] where [tex]\theta[/tex] = 0 for t= 7.50 m/s as the final flux and then at t= 2.50 m/s for the initial flux . Then to find induced emf I've been doing 181(([tex]\phi_{f}[/tex] - [tex]\phi_{i}[/tex])/(7.50 - 2.50)) but am getting the wrong answer, what am i doing wrong??

To be honest, I am really not following what you did.

But the induced emf is (dropping all signs) N A cos (theta) dB/dt in your case (only the magnitude of B changes). And dB/dt is simply the slope of the graph. So for the emf at 7.50 ms, the slope of the graph is dB/dt = (-0.01 - 0.02)/(10 ms - 5 ms) . Dropping the sign, multiplying by N A should give you the answer.

(-.01-.02)/(10-5) = -.006

dropping the sign: (181) (.006) [tex]\pi[/tex] (.01955[tex]^2[/tex])

i get .001303 V but that's not right :confused:

You seem tohave forgotten to multiply r^2 by Pi !

oops sorry that was supposed to have [tex]\pi[/tex] in there, i didn't forget it in my calculation

You must put dB/dt in Tesla per second...so it`s 6 Tesla/second

ooooooohhhh ok, but why isn't it already in T/s??

Because the time you divided by was in milliseconds.
Do you get the right answer now? I need to go to bed :wink:
 

FAQ: Induced EMF in N=181 Coil, A=.01955^2 at t=2.50, 7.50, 15.0, 25.0ms

What is induced EMF?

Induced EMF (electromotive force) is the voltage generated in a conductor when it is exposed to a changing magnetic field. It is a result of Faraday's Law of Induction, which states that a changing magnetic field will induce an electric current in a conductor.

What is the significance of N=181 in the coil?

N=181 refers to the number of turns in the coil. The more turns in a coil, the stronger the induced EMF will be. This is because each turn of the coil contributes to the overall magnetic field, increasing the strength of the magnetic flux passing through the coil.

What does A=.01955^2 represent?

A=.01955^2 represents the cross-sectional area of the coil. This is an important factor in determining the strength of the induced EMF, as a larger cross-sectional area allows for more magnetic flux to pass through the coil, resulting in a stronger induced EMF.

What does t=2.50, 7.50, 15.0, 25.0ms refer to?

t=2.50, 7.50, 15.0, 25.0ms represents the time at which the induced EMF is measured. This is important because the induced EMF is directly proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic field, so the value of t will affect the strength of the induced EMF.

How can the induced EMF in this coil be calculated?

The induced EMF in this coil can be calculated using the equation E=dΦ/dt, where E is the induced EMF, dΦ is the change in magnetic flux, and dt is the change in time. To calculate dΦ, you would need to know the magnetic field strength and the cross-sectional area of the coil.
