Why is S=2*pi*r*l in the equation for induced voltage of a DC motor?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The equation for induced voltage in a DC motor is defined as V=Blv, where B is the magnetic field strength, l is the length of the conductor, and v is the velocity of the conductor. The term S, representing the area through which the magnetic flux is calculated, is defined as S=2*pi*r*l, where r is the radius of the coil. This definition is crucial because the magnetic flux is not zero for the area of a rotating coil, contrary to the misconception that it is zero for closed surfaces as per Maxwell's equations. The induced voltage is directly related to the rate of change of magnetic flux through the coil.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electromagnetic principles, specifically Faraday's law of induction.
  • Familiarity with the equation for magnetic flux, phi=B*S.
  • Knowledge of angular velocity conversion from RPM to radians per second.
  • Basic understanding of DC motor operation and components.
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the derivation of Faraday's law of induction in detail.
  • Learn about the relationship between magnetic flux and induced voltage in rotating systems.
  • Explore the concept of angular velocity and its applications in electrical engineering.
  • Investigate the implications of Maxwell's equations on electromagnetic fields in various geometries.

TL;DR
V=P*Z*Phi*N/60a
Induced voltage of DC motor isV=Blv where B= phi/S
where S=2*pi*r*l and magnetic flux is phi=B*2*pi*r*l as shown in the picture.
that leads to the equation V=PZ*phi*N/60amy question is, why do we set S=2*pi*r*l
Shouldn't magnetic flux 0 because the magnetic flux of a closed surface is 0 according to Maxwell's equation.

Could someone please tell me why S=2*pi*r*l

That is zero for the closed surface of a 3D volume. It is not true for the area of a rotating coil.

The induced voltage is the rate of change of flux through the coil.

2⋅π⋅n / 60 ; converts n RPM to angular velocity in radians per second.

You need to define your variables; S, r, l, P, Z, n, a;

Thanks, I figured it out.
