    Generator Loops
AI Thread Summary
To determine the number of loops needed for a simple generator producing a peak output voltage of 26.0 V, the formula ε / (2Blv sin θ) is utilized. Given the parameters, the armature's length is 0.063 m, the magnetic field strength is 0.440 T, and the linear velocity calculated is 1.89 m/s. Substituting these values into the equation yields a result of 250 loops, assuming the angle is 90 degrees. The calculations confirm that the setup is correct for achieving the desired voltage output.

Simple Generator - Calculating "N" Loops

Homework Statement



A simple generator is used to generate a peak output voltage of 26.0 V . The square armature consists of windings that are 6.3 cm on a side and rotates in a field of 0.440T at a rate of 60.0 rev/s. How many loops of wire should be wound on the square armature?
Express your answer as an integer.

Homework Equations



ε / 2Blv sin θ = N

The Attempt at a Solution



l = 0.063 m
ε = 26.0 V
B = 0.440 T
v = 1.89 m/s (Is this what is incorrect?)

v = ωr
v = (60.0 rev/s)(0.0315 m)
v = 1.89 m/s

(26.0 V) / (2)(0.440 T)(0.063 m)(1.89 m/s)

(26.0 V) / (.104 T m^2 / s) = 250 loops

ETA : I assumed the angle is 90 degrees.

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
