Hi all,

I have a certain problem I'm getting stuck on hopefully someone here can help

Homework Statement



A rectangular coil is 75 mm wide in the y-axis, 100mm long in the x-axis. What is the speed of the rotation if an rms voltage of 0,25 V is developed in the uniform field of B = 0.45 T in the Z direction.

The correct answer is supposed to be 1000 revolutions/min.

Homework Equations



emf = d[flux]/dt

*Sorry a little unsure of how to use the symbols and such

The Attempt at a Solution

:

I honestly am not sure where to start. Normally i would try to find the expression for magnetic flux, plug in the numbers and solve for the frequency, but it doesn't work so in this case.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Vpeak = (√2)·Vrms

The Peak Voltage is seen when dΦ/dt is maximum.

Does it matter whether the axis of rotation of the coil is along the x-axis or along the y-axis? No.

Suppose the loop is centered at the origin and the angle between the z-axis and the normal to the plane that the loop lies in is θ. Then the magnetic flux is ΦB=B·A·cos(θ).

dΦ/dt = ‒B·A·sin(θ)·(dθ/dt) .
 
To solve this, I first used the units to work out that a= m* a/m, i.e. t=z/λ. This would allow you to determine the time duration within an interval section by section and then add this to the previous ones to obtain the age of the respective layer. However, this would require a constant thickness per year for each interval. However, since this is most likely not the case, my next consideration was that the age must be the integral of a 1/λ(z) function, which I cannot model.
