Calculating maximum flux density

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the maximum flux density (B_max) for an alternating voltage scenario, specifically using the integral B_max = ∫(u/(2NA) dt) from 150 degrees to 30 degrees. The frequency is given as 100 Hz, and the maximum voltage (U_max) is 200 V with an area (A) of 0.06^2 m². Participants emphasize the importance of converting degrees to time using the relationship between angular velocity and frequency, ultimately leading to the correct time intervals for the integration.

Homework Statement
Calculating maximum flux density
Relevant Equations
u=dphi/dt=dNBA/dt
Hi everyone,

I have a EE problem that I need to sort out for alternating voltage. I have to find out the maximum flux density.

B_max= integral from 150 degrees to 30 degrees (u/(2NA) dt is my problem.
I have a hard time to integrate this since I am to integrate with time and not degrees or radians. The frequency f= 100 Hz in this problem(not sure if its relevant).
How do I convert degrees to time? To my knowledge the right answer for 150 degrees should be 25/6 ms to 5/6 ms

Necessary data that's not part of my question but in the problem description: U_max= 200 V, A= 0.06^2 m^2, u=dphi/dt=dNBA/dt

Kind regards

Hi, there is a relation between degrees and time if you have the frequency ... because ##f=2\pi \omega## where ##\omega## is the angular velocity (or pulsation). If you write ##\omega=\frac{\Delta \alpha}{\Delta t}## you have that ## \Delta \alpha = \frac{f}{2\pi}\Delta t##, or simply ##\alpha=\frac{f}{2\pi}t## (if it is not a difference), I don't know if this can help you ...

Hi, thank you for your reply.

I think some kind of variable substitution is the way to go. If the angular velocity w= d(alpha)/dt ---> dt= w/(d(alpha)) is possible to put into the integral. However using degrees in integral is giving me a maximum flow of about 36.5 T which is way too high.

Is it possible to convert differently?

I attached the integral and the data, perhaps its clearer to understand the problem

Hi, yes I think the substitution can be of the following form ## \alpha \,=\, \frac{50}{\pi}t## do the differential will be ##d\alpha\,=\,\frac{50}{\pi}dt## and inverting ##dt\,=\, \frac{\pi}{50} d\alpha##, now put it into your integral ... 😄

Hi,

I tried putting it into the integral. The first try was to convert it to radians and the second to degrees.
I attached my solution and the "right" solution. However I do not get the same answer as below...2021-04-07#2-solution.PNG

Are you sure my attached solution is the way to go?

Kind regards

After 1/100 s you make a full circle -> 360°
Now you can calculate how long you need for 1° respectively 150° etc.
For 150° you''ll get the 25/6 ms
For the 30° it's the same approach.
