    Faraday's law Law
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the voltage output of a wireless power transfer device using Faraday's Law. The user attempts to determine voltage (V) using the formula V = -N A (dB/dt), where they define parameters like area (A) and magnetic field strength (B). They express confusion regarding the calculation of area and permeability, questioning whether to multiply by pi for accuracy. The user also clarifies that their total area calculation seems excessively high and seeks confirmation on the correct units for area and length. Overall, the conversation highlights the complexities of applying theoretical principles to practical experiments in electromagnetic fields.

so I'm trying to find the voltage output of little wireless power transfer device that I have made (I realize I could just use a Multimeter but where would be the fun in that)
V = -N A (dB/dt)from what I have gathered from online research:

N = permeability of my core which is like 1 because I'm just using air
A = area of 1 loop in my coil which is 50.265" because my loop has a radius of 4" and 114 turns so :
50.265 * 114 = 5730.265 area?
B = magnetic field strength which i measured to be about 4T because my conductor has 2 turns with an air core, and 0.8amps but 600v (its a florescent light ballast), the coil is about 3/8" so about 0.375. my formula for B is = 1*2*0.8 / 0.375 = 4.2T
dt = change in time, this was hard for me because its supposed to measure movement in seconds of the
magnetic field / inductor but the principle of this whole project works by expanding and collapsing an
electromagnetic field and I already don't really understand a lot of this but i really didn't get that so I
just did some looking online and found a forum which said a magnetic field created by a 12v battery would collapsing at around 0.1 of a second so I just went with that.So when I finally wrote down the problem it looked like this: V = - 1 * 5730.265 (4.2/0.1)

thanks for any help in advance, and in case its not obvious, I'm not great with math, so this is an adventure for me
Thanks

The relative permeability, μr, in air = 1.

So the permeabilty, μ = 1 * μ0 = 1 * 4E-7 * π

PS: Could you please write the dimension in unit: [meter]?
 
is that where I'm getting it wrong? the permeability? it needs to be multiplied by pi?

ps: ps: 1910.088333 meters is the total area I calculate for my induced coil, is that what you meant?

The absolute permeability:

μ = μr * μ0

μ0 is the permeability in vacuum/air = 4π*10-7. So the relative permeability as for air = 1. As for iron the relative permeability is about 1000.
So the permeability in iron is about 4π*10-4.

Areas are measured in unit [m2], lengths are measured in unit [m].
Both 1910m and 1910m2 is a lot as for a "little wireless power transfer device".
 
Well for my purposes I am using air for my core.

I figured that number for my area was way off but I wasn't sure because in the example I found online it said I needed to find the area of one loop in my inductor, so I figured since I have 114 loops I need to multiply the area of one loop by the number of loops I had total in the coil.

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
It may be shown from the equations of electromagnetism, by James Clerk Maxwell in the 1860’s, that the speed of light in the vacuum of free space is related to electric permittivity (ϵ) and magnetic permeability (μ) by the equation: c=1/√( μ ϵ ) . This value is a constant for the vacuum of free space and is independent of the motion of the observer. It was this fact, in part, that led Albert Einstein to Special Relativity.
