How Is Average Induced Voltage Calculated in a Rotated Coil?

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The problem involves calculating the average induced voltage in a coil that is rotated within a magnetic field. The coil has a specific number of windings and dimensions, and the magnetic field strength is provided. The scenario describes the coil being turned through a specific angle over a set time period.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Mathematical reasoning

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • The original poster attempts to calculate the magnetic flux before and after the coil's rotation and applies the formula for induced voltage. There is uncertainty about the sign of the magnetic flux after the rotation and how it affects the calculation of induced voltage.

Discussion Status

Some participants confirm the reasoning and procedure used by the original poster, noting that the change in flux is correctly identified as a sign change when the coil is flipped. However, there is no detailed verification of the arithmetic involved, and the discussion remains open for further input.

Contextual Notes

The original poster expresses concern about their English and seeks clarification on their calculations, indicating a desire for constructive feedback rather than definitive answers.

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 !
