Oscillation Frequency for Peak Voltage

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the oscillation frequency for peak voltage in a loop of wire, where the key equation is E(max) = NABw = 2pi*NABf. The user struggles to determine the variable N, which represents the number of turns in the wire loop. It is clarified that since the problem specifies "a loop of wire," N equals 1. Additionally, an alternative approach using the laws of electromagnetism is suggested for deriving the equation without needing to know N. Understanding these concepts can enhance confidence in solving similar problems.

Homework Statement



Here is the prompt:

Homework Equations



E(max) = NABw = 2pi*NABf

The Attempt at a Solution



E(max) = NABw = 2pi*NABf
= NA*B(nought)*2pi*f
1.50 / (NA*B(nought)*2pi) = f
f = 1.50 / N / ((2.50/100)^2*pi) / 0.109 / (2pi)

The problem I'm having is I don't know how to figure out N because it is not given, and I don't know any other equations that exclude the N variable.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I suspect they have told you what N is.
What does N stand for in that equation?
 
N is the number of turns, and I suppose since this isn't a solenoid that N=1
 
That's the one - the problem statement specifically says "A loop of wire..." - that would be 1.

You could also have got there by applying the Laws of electromagnetism instead of trying to memorize specific results. Then you'd just derive an equation that never has an N in it... you'd feel more confident about the result too, but it would take a lot longer ;)
 
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...
