Electromagnetic Induction and a coil of wire

In summary, the magnetic field passing through a 9.2 cm diameter coil of wire decreases from 6.4 T to 6.1 T in 0.076 seconds. The emf induced in the coil is dependent on the angle between the normal of the coil and the magnetic field, and the number of turns in the coil.

The magnetic field that is oriented perpendicularly through a 9.2 cm diameter coil of wire drops from 6.4 T to 6.1 T in 0.076 seconds. What is the emf induced in the coil?

Trying to answer this. My question is, if they are perpendicular then does that mean that cos90 makes phi = BAcos theta become zero therefore making the emf zero when put into emf = -N delta phi/delta t ? That doesn't seem right?

The magnetic field is perpendicular to A, the cross section of the coil. Theta means the angle between the normal of A and the magnetic field.

How many turns in the coil?
 

1. What is electromagnetic induction?

Electromagnetic induction is the process by which a changing magnetic field induces an electric current in a conductor, such as a coil of wire.

2. How does a coil of wire produce electricity?

A coil of wire can produce electricity through electromagnetic induction. When a magnetic field passes through the coil, it causes a change in the magnetic flux, which in turn induces an electric current in the wire.

3. What is the role of a magnetic field in electromagnetic induction?

The magnetic field is essential for electromagnetic induction to occur. It provides the necessary force to create a change in the magnetic flux and induce an electric current in the wire.

4. What factors affect the strength of the induced current in a coil of wire?

The strength of the induced current in a coil of wire depends on several factors, including the strength of the magnetic field, the number of turns in the coil, and the rate at which the magnetic field changes.

5. How is electromagnetic induction used in everyday life?

Electromagnetic induction has many practical applications in everyday life, such as in generators and transformers used to generate and transmit electricity. It is also used in technologies like electric motors, wireless charging, and induction cooktops.
