    Coil Fem Induced
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the induced electromotive force (EMF) in a rotating coil within a solenoid. The original poster presents a formula for EMF that differs from a provided answer, specifically regarding the trigonometric function used. The discrepancy arises from the definition of the angle theta, which may differ by 90 degrees between the two calculations, affecting the EMF's value at t=0. Clarification on the solenoid's symmetry axis is also highlighted as crucial for resolving the confusion. Understanding these definitions and parameters is essential for accurate FEM calculations in this context.

I need to find the FEM induced in a coil that rotates around the y-axis and is inside a solenoid. The coil starts in the plane yz
##r## is the radius of the coil
##n## is the number of spiral by length of the solenoid.
##N## is the number of turns of the coil
##w## is the angular velocity that the coils rotate.
##I## is the current passing through the solenoid

I just thought this:
$$\phi = \langle B,A \rangle = \mu n I \pi r^2 N cos(\theta = wt)$$
$$ \epsilon = -\dot \phi = \mu n I \pi r^2 N w sin(\theta = wt)$$

This is a simple exercise. But i can't see why my answer is wrong. That is, the answer provided by the list is ## \mu n I \pi r^2 N w cos(\theta = wt)##. The trignometric function is different. My answer says that at t=0 the induced FEM is zero, the other says it is maximum.

Sorry, what's FEM?
 
Which axis is given as the solenoid’s symmetry axis? This is a vital piece of information. This is why you are asked to provide the homework statement verbatim, which you have ignored.

Based on context, I would assume the OP is not a native English speaker and the original language is a Latin language. FEM would really be EMF, electromotive force.

Is your definition of variable ##\theta## the same as the definition in the "other"? If yours differs by 90o from the "other", then that could be the source of the disagreement.
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'
My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
