Generators (know r, l, B, angular speed of coil) how to find peak EMF?

AI Thread Summary
To find the peak EMF of a generator with a coil radius of 0.14 m, wire length of 5.7 m, magnetic field strength of 0.20 T, and angular speed of 25 rad/s, the number of loops (N) can be calculated using the formula N = L / (2πr). The area (A) of the coil is determined using A = πr^2. The peak EMF can then be calculated with the formula Emf_peak = ωNBA, which simplifies to Emf_peak = (1/2)ωLrB. This approach allows for the determination of the peak EMF based on the provided parameters.

The coil of a generator has a radius of 0.14 m. When this coil is unwound, the wire from which it is made has a length of 5.7 m. The magnetic field of the generator is 0.20 T, and the coil rotates at an angular speed of 25 rad/s. What is the peak emf of this generator?

Please help me get started on thsi one :)

i had to do a similar question..
cant remember how i did it though >_<
 
Knowing the wire length and the loop radius you can determine both loop area A and number of loops N.

Given: r = 0.14m, L = 5.7m, B = 0.2T, \omega = 25rad/s

N = \frac{L}{circumference} = \frac{L}{2\pi r}

A = \pi r^2

Emf_{peak} = \omega NBA = \frac{1}{2}\omega LrB.
 
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 '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...
