Planar Coil Rotating in a Magnetic Field

Click For Summary
To achieve maximum voltage at 0 degrees and zero voltage at 90 degrees for a rotating coil in a magnetic field, the coil must be oriented parallel to the magnetic field lines at 0 degrees and perpendicular at 90 degrees. This orientation allows for maximum flux cutting when parallel, leading to maximum induced voltage, and minimal flux cutting when perpendicular, resulting in zero induced voltage. The discussion highlights the importance of including relevant equations, such as the relationship between flux and voltage, to support the explanation. The missing figure is crucial for a complete understanding of the coil's orientation in relation to the magnetic field. Overall, the correct orientation of the coil is essential for optimizing voltage output in this scenario.

Is this correct?

In a homogeneous magnetic field of induction B, a plane coil rotates at a constant angular velocity omega. The figure shows three different positions of the thread relative to the induction lines. What orientation of the coil would be needed in prefer to have magnetic flux 0 at 90 degrees and volatge maximum at 0 degrees

To achieve maximum voltage when the coil is at 0 degrees and zero voltage when it's at 90 degrees, the coil should be oriented such that its plane is parallel to the magnetic field lines when it's at 0 degrees and perpendicular to the magnetic field lines when it's at 90 degrees. This orientation ensures maximum flux cutting when the coil is parallel to the field lines (0 degrees), resulting in maximum induced voltage, and minimum flux cutting when the coil is perpendicular to the field lines (90 degrees), resulting in zero induced voltage.

flux = BS

Hello @bab72 , :welcome:

I had to decode your post somewhat :rolleyes: and this is what I think you mean:

But the figure is missing. Can you post it?

Next is your proposed answer:

The term 'flux cutting' is inventive! But I would be happier if you include a relevant equation for the voltage, perhaps something with ##d\,{\text {flux}}\over dt## ?

Thread 'Chain falling out of a horizontal tube onto a table'
My attempt: Initial total M.E = PE of hanging part + PE of part of chain in the tube. I've considered the table as to be at zero of PE. PE of hanging part = ##\frac{1}{2} \frac{m}{l}gh^{2}##. PE of part in the tube = ##\frac{m}{l}(l - h)gh##. Final ME = ##\frac{1}{2}\frac{m}{l}gh^{2}## + ##\frac{1}{2}\frac{m}{l}hv^{2}##. Since Initial ME = Final ME. Therefore, ##\frac{1}{2}\frac{m}{l}hv^{2}## = ##\frac{m}{l}(l-h)gh##. Solving this gives: ## v = \sqrt{2g(l-h)}##. But the answer in the book...
