Homework Statement



A radio antenna that receives an AM radio station that emits at 800 kHz is constituted of an inductor of 120 turns with a radius of 0.6cm. The inductor is home to an iduced emf du to a magnetic field oscillating from the radio wave. The magnetic field is \vec{B}=1.0*10^{-5}sin(2\pift)\vec{k}. What is the induced emf in the inductor? We suppose that the magnetic field is oriented according to the inductor's axe.

Homework Equations


emf = -Nd[flux]/dt

d[flux] = int[B*dA]

The Attempt at a Solution



I tried to integrate and find the flux, but I am not that great at calculus, but then what I really don't get is that I am going to have to derive to find the emf. It seems like I am going in circles. By the way, the final answer is -0.682cos(5.03*10^{-6}t) V.

Thanks for the help!

I'm checking it right now, but seems to me that B here doesn't vary with area or location or anything

I'm assuming that the d in front of [flux] is a typo, as is the 2^pi(should be 2pi)

So you're integrating B*dA...>_> if B doesn't depend on the area, it just comes out of the integral and you get B*A, which is pi*r^2

then you take the time derivative of THAT(which most certainly depends on time)times -N

Your concern would be right except you're integrating over dA, then differentiating with respect to time

Edit: This is correct, and I checked it on windows calculator so it took like 6 start overs when I clicked the wrong thing :(

Thank you very much for the help, it works now. I was just complicating the problem. For some odd reason I was integrating the function for the magnetic field in the flux calculation, but it all works now. Thank you!

Hello everyone, I’m considering a point charge q that oscillates harmonically about the origin along the z-axis, e.g. $$z_{q}(t)= A\sin(wt)$$ In a strongly simplified / quasi-instantaneous approximation I ignore retardation and take the electric field at the position ##r=(x,y,z)## simply to be the “Coulomb field at the charge’s instantaneous position”: $$E(r,t)=\frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{r-r_{q}(t)}{||r-r_{q}(t)||^{3}}$$ with $$r_{q}(t)=(0,0,z_{q}(t))$$ (I’m aware this isn’t...
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
