Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on applying Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction to calculate the change in the magnetic field affecting a rectangular coil. Given a coil with dimensions 0.060 m x 0.060 m, 100 turns, and an average induced electromotive force (emf) of 1.5 V over a time period of 0.070 s, the relationship between induced emf and magnetic flux is utilized. The formula used is average induced emf = B(Area)/time, leading to the conclusion that the change in the magnetic field can be derived from the induced emf and the area of the coil.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction
  • Knowledge of magnetic flux and its calculation
  • Familiarity with basic electromotive force (emf) concepts
  • Ability to manipulate equations involving area and magnetic fields
NEXT STEPS
  • Calculate the change in the magnetic field using the formula: change in B = (average induced emf * time) / Area
  • Explore the implications of varying magnetic fields on induced emf in different coil configurations
  • Study the applications of Faraday's Law in real-world electromagnetic devices
  • Investigate the relationship between the number of turns in a coil and the induced emf
USEFUL FOR

Students studying electromagnetism, physics educators preparing lessons on electromagnetic induction, and anyone interested in the practical applications of Faraday's Law in electrical engineering.

A magnetic field is perpendicular to a 0.060 m 0.060 m rectangular coil of wire that has 100 turns. In a time of 0.070 s, an average emf of magnitude 1.5 V is induced in the coil. What is the magnitude of the change in the magnetic field?

My professor has not covered this in lecture yet, but this HW is due tomorrow. Reading the section for myself and looking at the equations, this is what i have come up with so far. Please help me out, thanks.

average induced emf=magnetic flux/time

average induced emf=B(Area)/time

average induced emf=-N(magnetic flux)/Time

Where do i start?

You're on the right track in applying Faraday's law, which relates the induced EMF to the rate of change of the magnetic flux. The flux through each loop equals B*Area; since the area is constant, the change in flux equals Area*(change in B).

Assume that the field increases uniformly and you can calculate the change in B; everything else is given.
 
got it. thanks.
