How Is EMF Induced in a Rotating Rectangular Loop?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the induced electromotive force (emf) in a rectangular loop rotating in a magnetic field. The loop has an area of 0.15 m² and is subjected to a magnetic field of 0.16 T, with the angle between the field and the loop's normal increasing at 0.70 rad/s. The initial calculation of magnetic flux yielded 0.024 Wb, but the user initially misread the area, leading to an incorrect emf calculation. After correcting the area, the user realized the mistake and acknowledged that the problem was straightforward. The final induced emf calculation reflects the corrected area and approach.

[SOLVED] Emf in a rectangular loop

Homework Statement


A rectangular loop (area = 0.15 m^2) turns in a uniform magnetic field, B = 0.16 T. When the angle between the field and the normal to the plane of the loop is pi/2 rad and increasing at 0.70 rad/s, what emf is induced in the loop?


Homework Equations


Flux=B*A

EMF=-N (delta flux/delta time)


The Attempt at a Solution



Flux= 0.16T * 0.15 m^2 = 0.024

Not sure what to do for the EMF.
Divided pi/2 radians by 0.70 rad/s to find time of 2.24 seconds. Then divided the flux by the time so... 0.024/2.24=0.011V

Thanks in advance for your help!

Actually, I was making a silly mistake...answer was off by one decimal place because I misread the area to be 0.015 m^2. Pretty simple problem lol

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...
