What Factors Affect the Average Induced EMF in a Rotating Coil?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The average induced electromotive force (emf) in a circular conducting coil with a radius of 2.61 cm, placed in a uniform magnetic field of 0.827 T and rotated 180° in 0.222 seconds, can be calculated using Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. The average current flowing through a copper coil with a resistivity of 1.67 x 10-8 Ω·m and a diameter of 0.900 mm is determined by applying Ohm's law after calculating the induced emf. The discussion emphasizes the importance of correctly applying Faraday's equation to arrive at accurate results.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction

A circular conducting coil with radius 2.61 cm is placed in a uniform magnetic field of 0.827 T with the plane of the coil perpendicular to the magnetic field. The coil is rotated 180° about the axis in 0.222 s. (a) What is the average induced emf in the coil during this rotation? (b) If the coil is made of copper (ρ = 1.67 times 10−8 Ω·m) with a diameter of 0.900 mm, what is the average current that flows through the coil during the rotation?



How would I start this problem?
I tried using Faraday's equation, but am getting the wrong answer
thanks
