    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 'Inducing EMF Through a Coil: Understanding Flux'
Thank you for reading my post. I can understand why a change in magnetic flux through a conducting surface would induce an emf, but how does this work when inducing an emf through a coil? How does the flux through the empty space between the wires have an effect on the electrons in the wire itself? In the image below is a coil with a magnetic field going through the space between the wires but not necessarily through the wires themselves. Thank you.

I am reading the Griffith, Electrodynamics book, 4th edition, Example 4.8. I want to understand some issues more correctly. It's a little bit difficult to understand now. > Example 4.8.
