SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving two problems related to magnetic fields and induction. The first problem involves calculating the inductance (L) of a wire loop with a current of 15 A and a magnetic flux of 3 Wb. The second problem requires determining the induced voltage (U[i]) in a coil with a current of 20 A and a magnetic flux of 10 Wb, with a current decrease of 1.2 A per second. The user initially struggled due to missing variables, such as the length of the coil, but later realized that the number of turns in the coil was provided.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of magnetic fields and induction principles
  • Familiarity with the formula for inductance (L = Nφ/B)
  • Knowledge of Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction
  • Basic understanding of current (I) and magnetic flux (Φ)
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the derivation and application of Faraday's law of induction
  • Learn about the relationship between inductance, magnetic flux, and current
  • Explore the effects of coil geometry on inductance calculations
  • Investigate practical applications of inductance in electrical circuits
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in electrical engineering, physics enthusiasts, and anyone interested in understanding magnetic induction and its applications in circuits.

hi

I recently started learning about magnetic fields and magnetic induction.
I tried to solve the following two problems, but I got stuck. Could you please help?


1)
Current of 15 A is running through the wire loop and magnetic flux through the wire loop is 3 Wb. What is inductivity L of a wire-loop? Here we obviously can't use formula for inductivity of a coil, so ... I don't know how to go at it.

I = 15 A
FL[ux] ... 3 Wb




2)

Current of 20 A creates inside a coil a magnetic flux of 10 Wb. What is the induced voltage U of a coil, if current decreases by 1.2 A each second? I tried to solve it but clearly there are some variables missing - like length of a coil or area of a wire-loop.

I = 20 A
FL[ux] = 10 Wb
dI = 1.2 A
dt = 1 s

U = ?

Like I said, length of a wire is missing for this to be solvable.



cheers

Why can't you use the formula for the inductance of a coil?

Note that [itex]Li = N\phi_{B}[/itex]

Uh, I got it now.

I got it now. I didn't notice that problem already stated how many turns coil has.thank you
