The discussion revolves around the calculation of electromotive force (EMF) generated in a straight conductor of length L placed in a time-varying magnetic field B. Participants are exploring the application of relevant equations and principles in the context of electromagnetic induction.
The discussion is ongoing, with participants seeking clarification on the validity of their approaches and the fundamental equations involved. Some guidance has been offered regarding the need to consider the general vector equation for calculating EMF in a changing magnetic field.
Participants express uncertainty about the correctness of their results and the relevance of the Case(i) scenario mentioned in a referenced file. There is a focus on the distinction between coils and straight conductors in the context of electromagnetic induction.
What is the original vector equation that is usually used to calculate this type of problem?kpsr said:Homework Statement
What is the EMF generated in a straight conductor of length L placed in a time varying magnetic field B as
shown in the below figure..
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Time varying magnetic field is B.cosωt,
EMF = (d/dx)(B.L.cosωt) = -B.L.ω.cosωt
I don't know this result true or not Please correct me..
In my above attempt I have used the transformer emf formula, in that formula I just used a straight conductor instead of a coil..berkeman said:What is the original vector equation that is usually used to calculate this type of problem?
Assume that you just have a rod without a voltmeter. You have "Free" electrons inside the wire.kpsr said:
That is not the fundamental vector equation for this problem. If you are not familiar with that equation, it will take a bit more work to help you with this. What class is this for? What level in university or high school?kpsr said:
Since this is a schoolwork-type question, our site rules require us to try to get you to figure it out on your own, rather than giving you the answer.kpsr said:
You didn't answer my question yet -- do you know the general vector equation that is used to calculate the EMF of a wire in a changing magnetic field? That is how you should approach this problem, rather than using simplifications of the equation like you posted above. If you're not sure which equation it is, just Google for calculate EMF in a wire from a changing magnetic field...kpsr said:
I googled a lot and every time what i can found is the emf generated only for a conductor coil/loop in a changing magnetic field (B.cosωt),berkeman said:You didn't answer my question yet -- do you know the general vector equation that is used to calculate the EMF of a wire in a changing magnetic field?

Good. So if there is no area enclosed, the induced EMF would be...kpsr said:I googled a lot and every time what i can found is the emf generated only for a conductor coil/loop in a changing magnetic field (B.cosωt),
and that general vector equation is
or
Here N is the number of turns in coil, A is the area of the coil and hence B.A is the flux Φ linked with that coil.
But what i am talking about a straight conductor with N almost 1 and there is no area A except length L.
that's why i replaced the flux BA from above equations with BL ,correct my approach...
the induced EMF would be zero.. But that must be not correct, as from the working principle of transformers there must be an emf given by the Case(i) from the file or may be else, that what really confusing me, please clarify it..berkeman said:Good. So if there is no area enclosed, the induced EMF would be...
What is "Case(i)"? A transformer has an EMF induced by the changing magnetic field that pierces the coils because the coils have area. So the B dot dA term in the equation is non-zero...kpsr said:
