SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the maximum induced electromotive force (emf) in a system comprising a 40-turn coil surrounding a 200-turn solenoid. The key formula for induced emf is e = -N * d(BA)/dt, where N represents the number of turns. It is confirmed that the area used in the flux change equation dflux/dt = dB/dt dot A should refer to the cross-sectional area of the solenoid, not the coil. The participant seeks clarification on whether the change in flux should be multiplied by 40, indicating a focus on the turn ratio's impact on induced emf.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electromagnetic induction principles

Homework Statement


I have a problem where a 40 turn coil surrounds a a 200 turn solenoid and I am asked to find the maximum induced emf.

Without going into exact details,

to get the EMF do I need to multiply my expression for the change in flux w/ respect to time by 40?

Also, The area in dflux/dt = dB/dt dot A is the cross sectional area of the solenoid, not the coil, correct?

I believe you are forgetting the turn ratio
 
e = -N*d(BA)/dt
