Finding the Length of a Conducting Armature in a Magnetic Field

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the length of a conducting armature in a magnetic field for a DC motor design that requires a maximum output torque of 7.5 x 10-3 Nm. The magnetic flux is given as 3 x 10-5 Wb across a rectangular area of 30mm by 20mm, with a current range of 0.6A to 1.2A. The formula F = BIL is mentioned, but the force is not provided, leading to difficulties in transposing the equation. Participants seek clarification on the problem and request the complete question to better assist in finding a solution. The final design must include various specifications, including the armature length, number of wire turns, diameter, and pole gap, along with supporting calculations.

I have a problem, to do with conductor in a magnetic field. The question says to find the length of the conducting armature with the magnetic flux.

I was planning on using the formula F= BIL. I have alright calculated the flux density and got the current, however the force is not given so I can't transpose the formula.

is there another method I can could uses?

Could you reproduce the question in its entirety? I'm not sure what the question you're trying to solve actually is.

the question is

DC motor requires to produce a maximum output torque of 7.5 x 10-3 Nm. The design must incorporate an armature (rotor) situated in a uniform magnetic field supplied by a solenoid. Solenoid produces a total magnetic flux of 3 x 10-5Wb acting perpendicularly across a rectangular field 30mm by 20mm. The gap between the two poles can be set between 25mm and 35mm without losing any total flux. The current flow in the armature coil can be between 0.6A and 1.2A.

Design an armature that will produce the required torque given the specification stated. I must present a solution and sketch of the design that clearly shows:

A) Length of the conducting armature within the magnetic flux
B) Number of turns of the wire on the armature
C) Diameter of the armatures
D) Gap between the poles
E) All calculations that support the final design solution
 
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
