Induced EMF in Rotating Magnetic Field with B=0.5B0z^

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around the induced electromotive force (emf) in a loop rotating in a magnetic field described by B=0.5B0z^. The loop has a radius r and rotates around the y-axis with a specified angular velocity of w=9 rad/s. Participants are exploring the relationship between magnetic flux and induced emf, particularly focusing on the angle involved in the calculations.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Mathematical reasoning, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the calculation of magnetic flux and its time derivative to find induced emf. There are questions regarding the angle q and its representation in the cosine function, with suggestions about whether it should be expressed as cos(q(9t)). Some participants also seek clarification on the meaning of S in the context of integration.

Discussion Status

The discussion is active, with participants providing feedback on each other's reasoning and questioning specific assumptions about the angle and integration. There is no explicit consensus on the correct approach, but several lines of reasoning are being explored, indicating a productive exchange of ideas.

Contextual Notes

Some participants note that the magnetic field mentioned may relate to another part of the question, and there is uncertainty regarding the need for integration in the calculations. The angle q is not provided, which adds to the complexity of the problem.

A magnetic field of B=0.5B0z^ is present when a loop with radius r is rotated around the y-axis with angular velocity of w=9 rad/s. What is the induced emf?

Well: flux = SB*dA = SBdAcosq(t) = Bcosq(t)SdA = 0.5B0*pi*r^2cosq(t)

d(flux)/dt = 0.5B0*pi*r^2*-sinq(t)*dq(t)/dt = 0.5B0*pi*r^2*-sinq(t)*9.

But I'm still stuck with the angle q which isn't given to me... What should I do?

The attachment shows ##B=(1/2)B_0 t^2## and you use ##B=(1/2)B_0##.

And what is S?
 
I think you are mostly correct. However, what should the argument of cosq(t) be? could it be cosq(9t)?
 
The first magnetic field is from another part of the question - if you look at the bottom you'll see the field I wrote here. S in the sign of integration ∫, forgot about the operators here :P

You're right! It's analoug to x=vt for constant speed movement... thanks!

Ah ok but I don't think you need to deal with integrals here.

You know ##\phi=\vec{B}.\vec{A}##. The direction of A is perpendicular to plane of ring. When the area vector rotates by an angle ##\theta##, evaluate ##\phi##.

PS: Can you post the answer so that I can check my working?
