Why is S=2*pi*r*l in the equation for induced voltage of a DC motor?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the equation for induced voltage in a DC motor, specifically addressing the expression S=2*pi*r*l and its implications in the context of magnetic flux and Maxwell's equations.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant states that the induced voltage of a DC motor is given by V=Blv, where B= phi/S and S=2*pi*r*l, questioning the rationale behind this definition of S.
  • Another participant argues that the magnetic flux is not zero for the area of a rotating coil, countering the claim that it should be zero according to Maxwell's equations.
  • A participant emphasizes the importance of defining variables such as S, r, l, P, Z, n, and a for clarity in the discussion.
  • One participant references an external source to provide additional context on the emf equation of a DC generator.
  • A later reply confirms understanding of the induced voltage as the rate of change of flux through the coil and notes the conversion of RPM to angular velocity.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the implications of Maxwell's equations regarding magnetic flux and the definition of S, indicating that the discussion remains unresolved.

Contextual Notes

Some assumptions regarding the definitions of variables and the application of Maxwell's equations are not fully explored, leaving room for further clarification.

TL;DR
V=P*Z*Phi*N/60a
Induced voltage of DC motor isV=Blv where B= phi/S
where S=2*pi*r*l and magnetic flux is phi=B*2*pi*r*l as shown in the picture.
that leads to the equation V=PZ*phi*N/60amy question is, why do we set S=2*pi*r*l
Shouldn't magnetic flux 0 because the magnetic flux of a closed surface is 0 according to Maxwell's equation.

Could someone please tell me why S=2*pi*r*l

That is zero for the closed surface of a 3D volume. It is not true for the area of a rotating coil.

The induced voltage is the rate of change of flux through the coil.

2⋅π⋅n / 60 ; converts n RPM to angular velocity in radians per second.

You need to define your variables; S, r, l, P, Z, n, a;

Thanks, I figured it out.
