Magnetic flux in a coil, find current

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the magnetic flux and current in a rotating circular coil within a magnetic field. The initial flux through the coil, given its radius, turns, and angle, is calculated using the formula flux = NBAcos(angle), yielding a value of 74.01. The user struggles with determining the flux as a function of time due to confusion about the coil's orientation and rotation direction. They seek clarification on how to derive the electromotive force (e) and current through the coil, including peak and RMS values. The conversation highlights the complexities of applying electromagnetic principles in practical scenarios.

Homework Statement



1.) Problem (exam question that I got wrong and want to figure it out)
A circluar coil of radius a=.35m rotates at a frequency of 120 hz in a constant magnetic filed of B=.8T. The axis of rotation is perpendicular to the field the coil has N =340 turns it has a resistance R=50 ohms
a.) what is flux thru coil t=0 if the normal vector of the coil is at an angle of 45 degrees to magnetic filed?
b.) suppose the coil starts rotating, what is its flux as a function of time?
c.) what current runs through the coil? peak current? RMS current?
d.)if coil connected to capacitor, what is current thru cap.(ignore the resistance)? peak current? what energy is stored in the capa.? where is it stored?
e.) answer the same for a resistor.



Homework Equations


i = e/R
flux = NBAcos(angle)
e = - delta flux/ delta t


The Attempt at a Solution



a) flux = NBAcos(angle) = 340 x .8 x pi x (.35) ^2 cos(45) = 74.01
b) e = - delta flux / delta t, so - 74.01 x d/dt where do I get time, is it t = 1/f f = 120 hz?

Could you maybe draw a picture? I don't understand how this is set up, which direction the field is pointing, which direction the coil is aligned in, and which way it is spinning.
 
I wish I could but that is all the information I was given. I been banging my head on the desk for hrs trying to understand.
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
