Electromotive force (EMF) induced in a rectangular loop

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the relationship between electromotive force (EMF) and magnetic flux, referencing Faraday's Law, which states that the induced EMF is proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux. The formula for induced EMF can be simplified for constant rotation to Emf_{induced} = -N\frac{\Delta \Phi}{\Delta t}. One participant calculated the induced EMF to be 1.708 x 10^{-3} V using this formula. The conversation emphasizes understanding the principles behind the calculations rather than simply providing answers. Overall, the discussion highlights the application of Faraday's Law in practical scenarios.

Homework Statement
A rectangular single loop of wire of length 0.035m and width 0.015m is positioned at 45° to a uniform magnetic field of 2.3T. The loop is rotated through 45° so that its plane is parallel to the magnetic field. Determine the electromotive force (e.m.f.) induced in the loop if the rotation takes 0.5s

Hi, so you have calculated the flux \Phi_B = \int \vec B \cdot d\vec A, but what is the relationship between Emf induced and the flux? Have you heard of Faraday's Law, which states that the emf induced is given by Emf_{induced} = -N\frac{d\Phi_{B}}{dt}. If you are assuming that this rotates at a constant speed, then you can change the formula to Emf_{induced} = -N\frac{\Delta \Phi}{\Delta t}.

Hope that is some help. I can answer more questions, but I am trying not to give the answer away.
 
Hello, thank you for your message! After some thought and looking around in textbooks etc. I believe that by using Emf_{induced} = -N\frac{\Delta \Phi}{\Delta t} I have calculated the Emf to be -1\frac{0 - (8.54\text{ x }10^{-4})}{0.5} = 1.708 \text{ x } 10^{-3} \text{ V}

I hope this is correct?
Thank you
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
