SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on three physics problems involving electromagnetic induction and RL circuits. The first problem involves calculating the induced EMF of a falling aluminum rod in a magnetic field of 2.0x10-5 T after 5 seconds. The second problem concerns a rectangular coil with 150 loops and a resistance of 5 Ohm, where the induced EMF is determined as the magnetic field decreases at a rate of 20 T/s. The final problem addresses an electromagnet with an inductance of 10.0 H and a resistance of 8.00 Ohm, requiring the calculation of the time to reach 50% of the final current value after being connected to a 230 V EMF.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Faraday's Law of electromagnetic induction
  • Knowledge of Lenz's Law for determining current direction
  • Familiarity with RL circuit behavior and time constants
  • Basic concepts of magnetic flux and induced EMF calculations
NEXT STEPS

Homework Statement


Suppose you drop an aluminum rod of length 1.0 m out of a window at a
equator, where the magnetic field of the Earth is 2.0x10-5 T. The rod stays oriented
horizontally as it falls.

Homework Equations



What is the induced EMF between the ends of the rod after 5
seconds?


The Attempt at a Solution



NO idea !

Homework Statement


A rectangular coil of 150 loops forming a closed circuit measures 0.2 m x 0.1
m. The resistance of the coil is 5 Ohm. The coil is placed between the poles of an
electromagnet, face on to the magnetic field. Suppose that when we switch the
electromagnet off, the magnitude of magnetic field decreases at the rate of 20 T/s.

Homework Equations



What is the induced EMF in the coil? What is the magnitude and direction of the induced
current?

Homework Statement


The windings of a large electromagnet have an inductance of 10.0 H and a
resistance of 8.00 Ohm. The electromagnet is connected to the external EMF of 230 V.

Homework Equations



After electromagnet is switched on, how long does it take for the current to build up to
50% of its final value? What is the final, steady value of the current that is attained after
fairly long time?

For future reference, be aware that you will get help a lot more quickly if you:

1) place only one problem in a thread -- this should really be three threads here

2) use a descriptive title for each problem thread, so potential readers will know what you want help with; "I need help" doesn't tell anyone very much -- most of the people posting in the Homework forum are asking for help...

Here's the picture you want to think about with this one. You appear to be covering Faraday's Law and you have perhaps had the topic "motional EMF". In any event, imagine the rod as it falls horizontal: its length makes the width of a rectangle and its ends mark the height of a growing rectangle as it falls. So you have a rectangular area through which the Earth's magnetic field passes, which means you have a magnetic flux through the rectangle. What does Faraday have to say about inducing EMF? How fast would the flux through this imaginary rectangle be changing five seconds after the rod began falling?

electromagnet off, the magnitude of magnetic field decreases at the rate of 20 T/s.

What is the induced EMF in the coil? What is the magnitude and direction of the induced
current?

This time, the area through which the magnetic field passes is constant, but the field itself is changing. So how fast is the flux changing? How does the number of turns in the coil comes into this? Find the EMF first, then use the resistance to find the magnitude of the current?

How do you find the direction of the current? Have you had Lenz' Law?

Have you talked about RL circuits in your course yet? If so, and you've had equations describing the behavior of the current in such a circuit, you have the information you need to make the calculations...
