Chapter 30 Problem 11

Question

A rectangular coil of N turns and of length a and width b is rotated at frequency fin a uniform magnetic field B, as indicated in Fig. 30-38. The coil is connected to co-rotating cylinders, against which metal brushes slide to make contact. (a) Show that the emf induced in the coil is given (as a function of time t) by 'g = 21TfNabB sin(21Tft) = 'go sin(21Tft). This is the principle of the commercial alternating- current generator. (b) What value of Nab gives an emf with 'go = 150 V when the loop is rotated at 60.0 revls in a uniform magnetic field of 0.500 T?

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 30 problem number 11 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A rectangular coil of N turns and of length a and width b is rotated at frequency fin a uniform magnetic field B, as indicated in Fig. 30-38. The coil is connected to co-rotating cylinders, against which metal brushes slide to make contact. (a) Show that the emf induced in the coil is given (as a function of time t) by 'g = 21TfNabB sin(21Tft) = 'go sin(21Tft). This is the principle of the commercial alternating- current generator. (b) What value of Nab gives an emf with 'go = 150 V when the loop is rotated at 60.0 revls in a uniform magnetic field of 0.500 T?
From the textbook chapter Induction and Inductance you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
