Acircular coil of radius 8.0 cm and 20 turns is rotated about itsvertical diameter with an angular speed of 50 rad s−1in a uniform horizontal magnetic field of magnitude 3.0×10−2T. Obtain the maximum and average emf induced in the coil. If thecoil forms a closed loop of resistance 10Ω,calculate the maximum value of current in the coil. Calculate theaverage power loss due to Joule heating. Where does this power comefrom?
Max induced emf =0.603 V
Average induced emf= 0 V
Max current in the coil= 0.0603 A
Average power loss =0.018 W
(Power comes from theexternal rotor)
Radius of the circularcoil, r = 8 cm = 0.08 m
Area of the coil, A= πr2 = π× (0.08)2 m2
Number of turns on thecoil, N = 20
Angular speed, ω= 50 rad/s
Magnetic fieldstrength, B = 3 ×10−2 T
Resistance of the loop,R = 10 Ω
Maximum induced emfis given as:
e = NωAB
= 20 ×50 × π× (0.08)2 ×3 × 10−2
= 0.603 V
The maximum emfinduced in the coil is 0.603 V.
Over a full cycle, theaverage emf induced in the coil is zero.
Maximum current isgiven as:
Average power loss dueto joule heating:
The current induced inthe coil produces a torque opposing the rotation of the coil. Therotor is an external agent. It must supply a torque to counter thistorque in order to keep the coil rotating uniformly. Hence,dissipated power comes from the external rotor.
