Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around understanding Lorentz’s law of voltage in the context of problems related to an AC generator. The original poster expresses confusion regarding the application of this law, particularly in relation to a problem they are attempting to solve.

Discussion Character

  • Conceptual clarification, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • The original poster attempts to solve a problem using a formula related to an AC generator but is uncertain about the relevance of Lorentz’s law of voltage. Some participants question whether there may be a typographical error in the reference to Lorentz’s law, suggesting it could refer to Lenz's Law instead.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants exploring the potential confusion surrounding the terminology used in the problem statement. There is a recognition that Lenz's Law may be relevant, as it relates to the original poster's successful application of a formula in a different problem.

Homework Statement


Greetings
So i was trying to solve following prolems:

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


I did manage to solve problem 22 using
E = NAB(2pi * f)
E = (100)(0.005)(0.9)(2pi)(50) = 141.372 v

But I have no idea what to do with problem 21. Mostly because I don't know what Lorentz’s law of voltage is.
I am aware that there is law for lorenz Force, but it require stuff like length, drift velocity and other data not given in problem. Not to mention that I do not need Force, I need Voltage.

I don't know what Lorentz’s law of voltage is.
I suspect the author has made a typo. Could he be referring to Lenz's Law?

I don't know. I suppose that is possible, since I never heard before about Lorentz’s law of voltage.
 
Does the question come from a textbook?

No, just screensot from unknown book our lecturer send us before goin to easter holiday. No details,sadly.

Anyway, since google does not find anying about Lorentz’s law of voltage it can indeed be a typo. However, from what I can see, Lenz's Law = E=-N (dФ/dt) or emf = -(loopsofwire)(magnetic flow over some area, per time).
This is looking fairly similar to my solution or problem 22. And, from my understanding, Lenz's Law is part of Faraday law.
So I guess I already solve it using Lenz's Law in problem 22, it's problem 21 that confuse me.
