How Is Average Induced Voltage Calculated in a Rotated Coil?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the average induced voltage in a coil rotated within a magnetic field. The coil has 10 windings and a radius of 0.07 meters, with a magnetic field strength of 0.050 T. The magnetic flux is initially calculated as 0.0007696902 Wb, and after a 180-degree rotation, the flux changes sign, resulting in a total change of -2 times the initial flux value. The induced voltage is then calculated using the formula Uinduced = -N * (dphi/dt), yielding a result of 0.31 volts. The procedure and reasoning behind the calculations are confirmed as correct.

Homework Statement



A coil with 10 windings(radius 0,07m) is inside a homogenous magnetic(B=0,050T) field, it makes an angle of 90 degrees with the field lines so the magnetic flux is at it's max. Over a period of 0,050 seconds it gets turned by 180 degrees, what is the average induced voltage?

Homework Equations



phi=B*A
Uinduced=-N* dphi/dt

The Attempt at a Solution


The area is 0.07²*pi= 0,015393804 m²
So the magnetic flux in the situation before the turning is 0,015393804*0,050=0,0007696902 Wb
(I don't normally write numbers like this)
After it turns, this is the part i am unsure about, is the magnetic flux now -0,0007696902?
because phi=B*cos(180)*A
so the difference in magnetic flux is -2*(0,0007696902)
Then Uinduced = -10 * (-2*(0,0007696902))/0.050 = 0,31 volts. Is this correct?

I am verry sorry for my english. Thank you!

Anyone? :-)
 
Welcome to Physics Forums.

Yes, that looks good. I didn't check your arithmetic, but your procedure and reasoning are correct. The flux simply changes sign (+ to -) when the coil is flipped 180 degrees, so the change in flux is 2x the value of the flux.
 
Thank you very much !
 
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...
