Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around understanding the concept of magnetic flux in inductors, specifically why the total flux is divided by the number of turns in certain contexts. Participants are examining the relationship between inductance, current, and flux, and how these relate to the number of turns in an inductor.

Discussion Character

  • Conceptual clarification, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants are questioning the reasoning behind dividing total flux by the number of turns, with some referencing previous problems where this division was not necessary. There is a call for clarification on the specific problem statement and the assumptions involved.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants seeking to clarify their understanding of the problem and the assumptions regarding the number of turns in inductors. Some guidance has been offered regarding the interpretation of flux through individual turns versus total flux.

Contextual Notes

There is a noted confusion regarding the presence or absence of the number of turns in different problems, which may affect how participants approach the calculation of flux.

here is the question and solution:
http://i31.tinypic.com/347ttlj.jpg

i was asked to find the flux of the system
i know that
[tex] \phi=LI[/tex]

why they divide the result by the number of turns??

in the previous question
i was told in the inductor which has certain L and certain I find the flux
and i was doing IL to find the flux although every inductor has a number of turns
and its not been divided by the number of it turns
the number of turns is not given at all.

Your expression above is the total flux. In the solution, they calculate the flux through one turn. Therefore the total flux needs to be divided by the number of turns N to find the flux through one turn.

You are not explaining yourself very well. Can you write the statement of the problem that you were asked to solve? Is it exactly the one whose solution you posted? If it is, then you do know that the numbers of turns is N=300 and I explained to you why they divide by N.
 
in this problem
http://i25.tinypic.com/bjeff6.jpg

they haven't told how many turns construct the inductor
the emf equals =-derivative of flux

and the flux has to be devided by the number of turns

but they didnt do it here at all

why??
 
This is confusing. Please stop posting solutions to different problems and post - not a jpg file - but a statement of the problem that you wish to be helped on typed in by yourself and following the template provided by PF.
 
i am confused about why in some questions i am given
inductor without his number of turns

while in the other i am not given the number of turns in the inductor
 
Different problems have different given quantities. Each problem must be solved individually. There is no solution that fits all problems. That is why I asked you, what specific problem are you having difficulty with?
 
ok thanks :)
