AI Thread Summary
An AM radio antenna with an inductance of 0.90 mH induces a current of 5.2 nA at a frequency of 1.2 MHz. The user calculates the angular frequency using w=2*Pi*f and finds the reactance of the inductor with the formula XL=wL. They then determine the induced voltage using V=IR, where R is calculated from the reactance. The discussion confirms the user's approach is correct, emphasizing the importance of unit conversion. The conversation highlights the steps needed to solve the inductor circuit problem for an upcoming test.

Please Help! Inductor Circuit



An AM radio antenna has the shape of a coil with inductance 0.90 mH. A radio wave with frequency 1.2 MHZ induces a current of amplitude 5.2 nA in the coil. What is the amplitude of the induced voltage across the coil?

I really need your help. It's going to be on the test for tomorrow. Thanks in advance.

This is what I did, I'm not sure of it.

First, we get "w" from the frequency from equation w=2*Pi*f.

Next we find the reactance of the inductor as it matches the resistor.

XL=wL which eqauls the resistor R.

Then the induced voltage is simply V=IR. We already have the current and we calculated R.

Am I right? Please Help me out.

YOU ARE RIGHT...

:rolleyes: GOOD JOB
 
Thanks. All I have to watch out for is converting the units.

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
