Induced EMF: Find Flux for Rectangular Loop in z-y Plane

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around calculating the induced electromotive force (emf) in a rectangular loop located in the z-y plane, which is partially moving in the x-direction. The magnetic field is defined as a function of position and time, and participants are examining the flux through the loop.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Mathematical reasoning, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants are discussing the setup of the integral for magnetic flux, with some questioning the limits of integration and the formulation of the magnetic field. There are attempts to clarify the correct bounds for the integration based on the loop's motion.

Discussion Status

Some participants have provided feedback on the limits of integration, suggesting corrections and confirming the structure of the equations. There is an ongoing exploration of how to simplify and compute the integral to find the induced emf.

Contextual Notes

There is a focus on ensuring the correct interpretation of the problem setup, including the movement of the loop and the magnetic field's dependence on position and time. Participants are also considering the implications of the loop's fixed and moving parts on the calculations.

Can someone check my equation for flux. Thanks

A rectangular loop in the z-y plane is situated at t = 0 at the points (x=1,z=0), (x=1,z=5), (x=4,z=5), and (x=4,z=0). The rod of the loop with end points (x=4,z=0), and (x=4,z=5) is moving in the x-direction with a velocity
[tex]v=5\vec{i}[/tex]m/s while the rest of the loop remains fixed. Find induced emf in the loop for all t

B = (10/x) cos100t j

[tex]\psi=\int_{s}B\cdot\,ds=\int_{xo=1}^{xo=4} \int_{z=0}^{5}\frac{10}{x}cos100t\vec{j}\cdot\, dx\,dz\vec{j}[/tex]

Looks OK to me except the lower limit on the x integral should be 1, not zero, with xo = 4 in the upper limit. I assume you can simplify and integrate this.
 
Yes I can do that and then find emf.
