031. `Query 31

 

Question: `qQuery Principles and General Physics 21.04. A circular loop of diameter 9.6 cm in a 1.10 T field perpendicular to the plane of the loop; loop is removed in .15 s. What is the induced EMF?

 

 

Your Solution:

 

 

 

Confidence rating: 

 

Given Solution:

The average induced emf is the average rate of change of the magnetic flux with respect to clock time. The initial magnetic flux through this loop is

 

flux = magnetic field * area = 1.10 T * (pi * .048 m)^2 = .00796 T m^2.

 

Flux is designated by the Greek letter phi.

 

The flux is reduced to 0 when the loop is removed from the field, so the change in flux has magnitude .0080 T m^2. The rate of change of flux is therefore

 

`d phi / `dt = .0080 T m^2 / (.15 sec) = .053 T m^2 / sec = .053 volts.

 

STUDENT COMMENT

 

OK so its in Volts. I understand

INSTRUCTOR RESPONSE

 

You had the right number.  You should also carry the units throughout the calculation.

A Tesla is a N / (amp m) so the unit T m^2 / sec becomes N m / (amp sec) = J / (C/s * s) = J / C, or volts.

Question: `qquery gen problem 21.23 320-loop square coil 21 cm on a side, .65 T mag field. How fast to produce peak 120-v output?

 

How many cycles per second are required to produce a 120-volt output, and how did you get your result?

 

Your Solution:

 

 

 

Confidence rating: 

 

Given Solution:

The average magnitude of the output is peak output/sqrt(2) . We find the average output as ave rate of flux change.

 

The area of a single coil is (21 cm)^2 = (.21 m)^2 and the magnetic field is .65 Tesla; there are 320 coils. When the plane of the coil is perpendicular to the field we get the maximum flux of

 

fluxMax = .65 T * (.21 m)^2 * 320 = 19.2 T m^2.

 

The flux will decrease to zero in 1/4 cycle. Letting t_cycle stand for the time of a complete cycle we have

 

ave magnitude of field = magnitude of change in flux / change in t = 9.17T m^2 / (1/4 t_cycle) = 36.7 T m^2 / t_cycle.

 

If peak output is 120 volts the ave voltage is 120 V / sqrt(2) so we have

 

36.7 T m^2 / t_cycle = 120 V / sqrt(2).

 

We easily solve for t_cycle to obtain t_cycle = 36.7 T m^2 / (120 V / sqrt(2) ) = .432 second.+

 

A purely symbolic solution uses

 

maximum flux = n * B * A

average voltage = V_peak / sqrt(2), where V_peak is the peak voltage

 

giving us

 

ave rate of change of flux = average voltage so that

n B * A / (1/4 t_cycle) = V_peak / sqrt(2), which we solve for t_cycle to get

t_cycle = 4 n B A * sqrt(2) / V_peak = 4 * 320 * .65 T * (.21 m)^2 * sqrt(2) / (120 V) = .432 second.

Question: `quniv query 29.54 (30.36 10th edition) univ upward current I in wire, increasing at rate di/dt. Loop of height L, vert sides at dist a and b from wire.

 

When the current is I what is the magnitude of B at distance r from the wire and what is the magnetic flux through a strip at this position having width `dr?

 

Your Solution:

 

 

 

Confidence rating: 

 

Given Solution:

** The magnetic field due to the wire at distance r is 2 k ' I / r. The field is radial around the wire and so by the right-hand rule (thumb in direction of current, fingers point in direction of field) is downward into the page.

 

The area of the strip is L * `dr.

 

The magnetic flux thru the strip is therefore 2 k ' I / r * (L `dr).

 

The total magnetic field over a series of such strips partitioning the area is thus

 

sum(2 k ' I / r * L `dr, r from a to b).

 

Taking the limit as `dr -> 0 we get

 

integral (2 k ' I / r * L with respect to r, r from a to b).

 

Our antiderivative is 2 k ' I ln | r | * L; the definite integral therefore comes out to

 

flux = 2 k ' L ln | b / a | * I.

 

If I is changing then we have

 

rate of change of flux = 2 k ' L ln | b / a | * dI/dt.

 

This is the induced emf through a single turn.

 

You can easily substitute a = 12.0 cm = .12 m, b = 36.0 cm = .36 m, L = 24.0 cm = .24 m and di/dt = 9.60 A / s, and multiply by the number of turns. **

Given Solution:
 

I wouldn't advocate using a formula from the book to solve this problem. Common sense, starting from the premise that the voltage function is the derivative of the flux function, is much more efficient (way fewer formulas to remember and less chance of using the wrong one).

The maximum flux is .65 T * (.21 m)^2/ loop * 320 loops = 9.173 T m^2.

So the flux as a function of clock time could be modeled by

The voltage induced by changing flux is the rate of change of flux with respect to clock time. So the
voltage function is the t derivative of the flux:

Maximum voltage occurs when cos(2 pi f t) = 1. At this instant the voltage is

Setting this equal to the peak voltage we get

We can generalize this symbolically by replacing 9.173 T m^2 by phi_max, which represents the maximum
flux. So a generator with maximum flux phi_max, rotating a frequency f has flux function

Everything follows easily from this formulation, with no need to memorize the formulas that result.
