How fast must a coil be rotating to produce a certain current

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around the problem of determining the rotational speed of a coil necessary to generate a specific current. The subject area includes concepts from electromagnetism, specifically electromagnetic induction and forces acting on coils in magnetic fields.

Discussion Character

  • Mixed

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants explore the relationship between angular speed, magnetic flux, and induced electromotive force (emf). There are attempts to apply relevant equations, such as ξ = dɸB/dt and Emax = wNBA, while questioning the assumptions made in their calculations. Some participants express confusion about the need for time in their calculations and the setup of forces in different components.

Discussion Status

Several participants have shared their calculations and results, with some expressing uncertainty about the correctness of their answers. Guidance has been offered regarding the maximum values of sine functions and the relevance of certain equations. There appears to be a productive exchange of ideas, but no explicit consensus has been reached on the solutions.

Contextual Notes

Participants are working under the constraints of homework guidelines, which may limit the information available or the methods they can use. There are also indications of confusion regarding the setup of the problems, particularly in distinguishing between two different questions posed in the thread.

The Attempt at a Solution


For letter A, my guess is ξ = dɸB/dt, ɸB = BA (since both magnetic field and the area are constants)

After substituting, I ended up with a hanging \frac{d}{dt}..

I'm quite confused.

For letter B, I don't know. Will I use the same formula I've used in letter A?

What result did you get? If you get a cos(wt) in your flux, you're on the right track.
 


What I have in hand is 116.504rad/s using the equation IR = wNBAsin(wt), with the assumption that the sin(wt) will become 1. (A=area, N=number of turns, w=angular speed)

I don't know how will I obtain t.

I don't know also if my answer is right..
 


Additional question, how can I resolve the forces in x and y component?

All I know is that Fx=m*a*cos(theta). I don't know for Fy.
 


You don't need t, the problem wants the maximum value. When is sine maximum?

I'm not sure what you mean for y without information on how you set up your axis. What do you need the force for anyway? Are you referring to do the second problem? The second problem is almost completely different from the first.
 


Yeah, I just used the equation Emax = wNBA, and Emax=ImaxR since when E is max, the sin(wt) should be equal to 1. And my answer is 19rev/s

For the second problem, I got around 1.9m/s. I don't know if I used the right equation. F=ILBsinx, F=mgsinx, E=-BLvcosx, E=IR, ending up with v=(mgR)/(B2L2cosx)
