[QUOTE="kamhogo, post: 5466615, member: 585900"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] A 40-turn, 4.0-cm-diameter coil with R = 0.40Ω surrounds a 3.0-cm-diameter solenoid. The solenoid is 20 cm long and has 200 turns. The 60 Hz current through the solenoid is I = Io sin (2Πft). What is Io if the maximum current in the coil is 0.20A? [h2]Homework Equations[/h2] Ncoil = Nc= 40 turns Acoil = Ac = 4π*(10^-2) m^2 Rcoil = 0.40Ω n = Nsol/Lsol = 200 turns / 0.2 m = 1000/m Bsol = μo*n*Isol Isol = Io sin (120Πt) Asol = 2.25π*(10^-4) m^2 φm = Nc*Bsol*Asol (Magnetic flux through coil) ∈coil = φm/dt Icoil = Nc*∈coil/Rcoil[h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] Isol is max when Io sin (2Πft) = Io, i.e. when sin 120Πt = 1, i.e. when t ≈ 0.2387s [U]From Isol to Bsol [/U] Bsol = 1000*μo*(Io sin (120Πt) [U]From Bsol to Flux through coil (φm)[/U] φm = 40*(1000*μo*(Io sin (120Πt))*(2.25π*(10^-4) m^2) = 9*(Io sin (120Πt) [U]From φm to ∈coil[/U] ∈coil = (9*(Io sin (120Πt))/dt= 9*Io*120Π* cos (120Πt) = 3392.92*Io*cos (120Πt) [U]From ∈coil to Icoil [/U] Icoil = (40*3392.92*Io*cos (120Πt))/0.40Ω = 339292.0066 *Io*cos (120Πt) = 0.20 A 5.8946*(10^-7) = Io*cos (120Πt); t ≈ 0.2387 s ⇒ Io = 140.45A Is this correct?
