Show what the magnitude of induced emf

Homework Statement



Consider a magnetic field B = K(x3z2,0, -x2z3)sinωt in the region of interest, where K and ω are positive constants and t is variable time. Show that the magnitude of the induced emf around a circle R in the plane z = a with its center at x = 0, y = 0, z = a is:
ε = (K/4)∏a3R4ωcosωt

Homework Equations



Fluxb = ∫B . dA

The Attempt at a Solution



Since the normal vector points in the k direction, we only have to worry about Bz.

∫Bzdydx. So -∫∫x2a3dydx.

The make the change to polar:

-aK3∫∫(rcosθ)2r dr dθ = -(K/4)a3R4∫cosθsinψt dθ.This doesn't get me anywhere.

To find the magnitude of the induced emf, we need to use Faraday's Law of Induction, which states that the induced emf is equal to the rate of change of magnetic flux through a surface.

In this case, the surface is a circle of radius R in the plane z = a, with its center at x = 0, y = 0, z = a. We can use the formula for magnetic flux, Φb = ∫B . dA, to find the magnetic flux through this circle.

Since the magnetic field B is given as B = K(x3z2, 0, -x2z3)sinωt, we can rewrite it as B = K(rsint, 0, -rcost)sinωt in polar coordinates, where r is the distance from the center of the circle and θ is the angle from the positive x-axis.

The magnetic flux through the circle is then given by:

Φb = ∫B . dA = ∫∫B . dS = ∫∫Bz dS = ∫∫-rcostsinωt r dr dθ = -ωR2sinωt ∫∫rcost r dr dθ

Since the circle has a radius R and is in the plane z = a, we can set the limits of integration as 0 ≤ r ≤ R and 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2∏. This gives us:

Φb = -ωR2sinωt ∫∫rcost r dr dθ = -ωR2sinωt ∫02∏∫0Rrcost r dr dθ

= -ωR2sinωt ∫02∏(R2/2)cost dθ = -ωR2sinωt (R2/2)2∏ = -πωR4sinωt

Finally, using Faraday's Law of Induction, we can say that the induced emf, ε, is equal to the rate of change of magnetic flux, or ε = -dΦb/dt. Taking the derivative with respect to time, we get:

ε = -dΦb/dt = πωR4cosωt

Therefore, the magnitude of the induced emf is given by:

|ε| = πωR4|cosωt| =
 

FAQ: Repeat Q: Ignore. Show what the magnitude of induced emf

What is induced emf?

Induced emf, or electromotive force, is the voltage that is generated in a circuit when the magnetic flux through the circuit changes. This can happen through the movement of a magnet or a change in current flow in a nearby circuit.

How is induced emf calculated?

The magnitude of induced emf can be calculated using Faraday's law of induction, which states that the magnitude of the induced emf is equal to the rate of change of magnetic flux through the circuit. It can be represented by the equation: E = -N(dΦ/dt), where E is the induced emf, N is the number of turns in the circuit, and (dΦ/dt) is the change in magnetic flux over time.

What factors affect the magnitude of induced emf?

The magnitude of induced emf is affected by several factors, including the strength of the magnetic field, the rate at which the magnetic field changes, the number of turns in the circuit, and the material properties of the circuit. A stronger magnetic field, a faster change in magnetic flux, and a higher number of turns will result in a larger induced emf. Additionally, materials with higher conductivity will have a greater induced emf.

How can induced emf be reduced?

Induced emf can be reduced by decreasing the rate at which the magnetic field changes, reducing the number of turns in the circuit, or using materials with lower conductivity. Shielding the circuit with a material that is not affected by magnetic fields can also reduce induced emf.

What are some real-world applications of induced emf?

Induced emf has many important applications in technology, such as in generators, transformers, and electric motors. It is also used in power plants to produce electricity and in various medical devices, such as MRI machines. Induced emf is also the principle behind wireless charging technology.
