[QUOTE="auctor, post: 5971749, member: 420034"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] A wire shaped as a semi-circle of radius a rotates about the axis OO’ with a constant angular velocity ω in a uniform magnetic field with induction B (attached figure). The plane of the rectangular loop is perpendicular to the magnetic field direction. The total resistance of the circuit is R. Neglecting effects of the magnetic field that is generated by the current in the circuit, find the mean thermal power dissipated during one rotation period. [h2]Homework Equations[/h2] Emf: ε=-dΦ/dt Flux: dΦ=[B]B⋅dS[/B] Angle: ϑ=ωt Current: I=ε/R Power: P=εI ∫[SUB]0[/SUB][SUP]2π[/SUP] sin[SUP]2[/SUP](x)dx = 1/2 [h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] The area of the projection of the loop onto the direction perpendicular to the magnetic field changes according to S=S[SUB]rectangle[/SUB]+πa[SUP]2[/SUP]/2 cos(ϑ)=S[SUB]rectangle[/SUB]+πa[SUP]2[/SUP]/2 cos(ωt) The magnetic induction isn't changing. The flux as a function of time is then Φ=B(S[SUB]rectangle[/SUB]+πa[SUP]2[/SUP]/2 cos(ωt)) The emf is ε=-dΦ/dt = ωBπa[SUP]2[/SUP]/2 sin(ωt) The current is I=ωBπa[SUP]2[/SUP]/(2R) sin(ωt) The instantaneous power is P=[ωBπa[SUP]2[/SUP]][SUP]2[/SUP]/(4R) sin[SUP]2[/SUP](ωt) The average power is P=[ωBπa[SUP]2[/SUP]][SUP]2[/SUP]/(8R) However, the answer the book gives is P=[ωBπa[SUP]2[/SUP]][SUP]2[/SUP]/(2R). This result would correspond to a variation of the projection area S=S[SUB]rectangle[/SUB]+πa[SUP]2[/SUP] cos(ϑ). Not sure why this would be the case... [/QUOTE]
