AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the application of Faraday's Law in building a mini electric generator. The user seeks clarification on how the number of turns of wire affects voltage generation, comparing a single ring with 200 turns to four smaller rings also totaling 200 turns. Key considerations include the total area of the rings and how it influences magnetic flux. The user is unsure if the configuration of wrapping the wire in a figure-eight motion around the smaller rings would yield greater voltage. Understanding the relationship between area, turns, and magnetic flux is crucial for optimizing generator design.

Hey guys. I'm building a mini electric generator and I would like some clarification on Faraday's Law.

So his law states that:

V=-N*(ΔBA)/(Δt)
Where voltage generated equals the number of turns times the negative rate of magnetic flux.

So my question regards the number of turns part. So my hypothetical situations involve one with a single ring and another with four rings of 1/4 the diameter of the one ring. If I wrapped copper coil around the one ring 200 times would the voltage generated be greater than if I wrapped the copper wire around the four rings 200 times? Wrapping the wire around the four rings would be in a figure eight kind of motion.

Thanks for your input! Sorry I didn't have a picture, I couldn't find one or couldn't figure out a good way to illustrate it.

How does the total area of the four rings compare to the area of the single ring?

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'

So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
