SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the induced electromotive force (emf) in a tightly wound circular coil with 81.9 turns and a radius of 0.1 m, subjected to a linearly increasing magnetic field from 0 T to 0.851 T over 0.364 seconds. The relevant equations include emf = -dΦ/dt and emf = -NA dB/dt, where N is the number of turns and A is the area of the coil. The solution involves determining the rate of change of the magnetic field (dB/dt) to find the induced emf in volts.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction
  • Familiarity with the concepts of magnetic flux and its calculation
  • Knowledge of basic calculus, specifically differentiation

Homework Statement




Given: A tightly wound circular coil has
81.9 turns , each of radius 0.1 m. The uniform
magnetic field is in a direction perpendicular
to the plane of the coil. The field increases
linearly from 0 T to 0.851 T in a time of
0.364 s .
What E is induced in the windings of the
coil?
Answer in units of V.

Homework Equations



emf=Blv
emf(average)=magnetic flux/time


The Attempt at a Solution


I think this can be solved using magnetic flux, but i don't reallly know how to go about doing it

Start with your equation

emf = -dΦ/dt where Φ=NBA, thus your equation becomes

emf = -d/dt(NBA)

N and A are constant so emf=-NA dB/dt. So how you would get dB/dt which is the rate of change of the magnetic field per unit time.
