How fast must the rotor of a generator rotate?

AI Thread Summary
To achieve a maximum induced emf of 55.0V in a generator, the rotor must rotate at approximately 262 revolutions per minute (rpm). The relationship between induced emf and rotor speed is established through the formula E = NBAω, where N, B, and A remain constant. Given that the maximum induced emf at 205 rpm is 43.0V, the same value of (NBA) can be used to calculate the new rotor speed for the desired emf. The calculations show that the rotor speed does not need to be converted to SI units for this problem. Thus, the required rotor speed for the specified emf increase is determined to be 262 rpm.

Homework Statement


The maximum indicued emf in a generator is 205rpm is 43.0V. How fast must the rotor of the generator rotate if it's to generate a maximum inducded emf of 55.0V?

Homework Equations


E= NBAsinwt

The Attempt at a Solution


205r/m*2 (Pi)/ 1rev81min/60s = 21.46rad/s
magnet field isn't given, so how can u solve this?

Check the formula for induced emf.
 


i did, but ur not given enough info to solve it, when u have E=-N ( magnetic flux)/ time or motion emf which is E= Blv
 


Formula for induces emf is E = NBAwsin(wt)

When a coil is moving in a magnetic field, E = -N( change in magnetic flux/time)
When a conductor is moving a magnetic field with a velocity v, E = Blv.
In your problem you hve to the first formula. At any instant th magnetic flux = NBA*cos(wt)
 


The eq for the induced emf is NBAwsin(wt). To max this eq out you have to realize the max value for the sin function is 1. Therefore, the max emf = NBAw. Since they give you what the max emf is for an w=205rev/min, you can simply solve for a value of (NBA). and use this same value for (NBA) in the eq 55V=(NBA)(w). You have to realize that the values for N, B, and A are not changing for this situation. You do not really have to change the w to SI units, or, 21.46 rad/sec. You can use the 205 rev/ min as the w to find a value for (NBA) and plug this into the eq 55V = (NBA)(w). Either way you get approx 262 rev/min.
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
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 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'
I can't figure out how to find the velocity of the particle at 37 degrees. Basically the bead moves with velocity towards right let's call it v1. The particle moves with some velocity v2. In frame of the bead, the particle is performing circular motion. So v of particle wrt bead would be perpendicular to the string. But how would I find the velocity of particle in ground frame? I tried using vectors to figure it out and the angle is coming out to be extremely long. One equation is by work...
