SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the rate of change of magnetic field strength required to induce a current of 4.3 A in a 110-turn coil with a radius of 4.1 cm and a resistance of 25 Ohm. Using Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction and Ohm's law, the formula derived is dB/dt = (iR)/(NA cos(θ)), where θ is the angle between the magnetic field and the normal to the coil's plane. The area A is calculated as πr², and the calculations assume an air-cored coil free from nearby magnetic materials.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction
  • Knowledge of Ohm's law and its application
  • Familiarity with magnetic flux and its calculation
  • Basic trigonometry for angle calculations in magnetic fields
NEXT STEPS
  • Calculate magnetic flux for different coil configurations
  • Explore the effects of varying resistance on induced current
  • Learn about the implications of coil orientation in magnetic fields
  • Investigate the impact of core materials on coil performance
USEFUL FOR

Physics students, electrical engineers, and anyone studying electromagnetic induction and coil design will benefit from this discussion.

heres the question:

A 110 turn coil has a radius of 4.1 cm and a resistance of 25 Ohm. The coil is in a uniform magnetic field that is perpendicular to the plane of the coil. What rate of change of the magnetic field strength will induce a current of 4.3 A in the coil? What rate of change of the magnetic field strength is required if the magnetic field makes an angle of 20° with the normal to the plane of the coil?

Homework Equations



i know that i need to use faradays equation:E = -n(dtheta/dt), and Ohm's law:V =IR

i don't know how to get 'dt' for my equation. i know there is another way to do this problem but i can't really come up with anything at the moment

you are asked to find the rate of change of the magnetic field strength (I assume B not H since it is hard to figure this out from the context)


\frac{dB}{dt}

we know that

\mathcal{E} = -N \frac{d\Phi_B}{dt}

so what is?

\Phi_B

\Phi_B

Given the question refers to magnetic field strength rather than flux density, then
I guess you could (for the purpose of obtaining a solution) "safely" assume it's an air cored coil and free of the influence of any nearby magnetic material.
 
\Phi<sub>B</sub> = B * A (dot product)
 
Magnetic Flux = B dot A

Because the Area is constant
d\Phi/dt = dB/dt * A cos 20

so emf = N d\Phi/dt

We know emf because of ohm's law V=iR

Therefore,

iR = dB/dt * N * A cos20

dB/dt = (iR)/(NA cos20)
