    Flux Time
AI Thread Summary
To calculate the time over which magnetic flux changes in a 50-turn coil, the formula E = -N (change in flux / change in time) is used. Given a change in flux from 10 mWB to 20 mWB and an induced e.m.f. of 62.5 V, the calculation leads to a negative time value, which is not physically meaningful. The negative sign can be disregarded since e.m.f. is typically expressed as an absolute value. The calculated time for the flux change is 0.008 seconds. Understanding the polarity of e.m.f. is crucial for accurate calculations.

1. if the magnetic flux linking all the turns of a 50 turn coil changes from 10 mWB to 20 mWB and induces an e.m.f. of 62.5 V in the coil, calculate the time over which the flux changes.

i know the formula to calculate the flux which is

E = -N change in flux / change in time.

to calculate the change in time we just need to change E with change in time in the formula, but by doing this answer will be negative which is not possible as time can not be negative. how to get rid of this -ve. or is it ok if i don't use it at all.


my answer is -0.008 Sec.

The 62.5V polarity was not defined with respect to coil geometry so your answer is correct when made positive.
 
62.5 V is an absolute value of e.m.f
 
thnx a lot guyz... :D
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

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'

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...
