Question

Multiple-Choice Homework Problem 13.6 A simple generator is constructed by rotating a flat coil in a uniform magnetic field. Suppose we rotate a flat coil of radius 2.0cm and 400 turns in the earths magnetic field 6 times per second so that the surface normal to the coil is parallel to the field once per revolution. The eartWs magnetic field is still about 4 x 10^5T. What is the maximum emf that would be measured across this generator. Select One of the Following: Multiple-Choice Homework Problem 13.7 You wish to build a time delay circuit using a 75H inductor. You want the voltage across the inductor to fall to 3.0V from an initial voltage of 12V in a period of 2.Os. What resistance must be used in the circuit? Select One of the Following:

Explanation / Answer

13.6) d) 7.6*10^-4 V

no of turns, N = 400

Area of the loop, A = pi*r^2

= pi*0.02^2

= 1.257*10^-3 m^2

frequency, f = 6 hz

angular frequency, w = 2*pi*f

= 2*pi*6

= 37.7 rad/s

B = 4*10^-5 T

maximum induced emf = N*A*B*w

= 400*1.257*10^-3*4*10^-5*37.7

= 7.6*10^-4 V


13.7) d) 52 ohms

Let T is the time constant of the circuit.


we know, voltage across inductor at time t,

V = Vmax*e^(-t/T)

3 = 12*e^(-t/T)


3/12 = e^(-t/T)

0.25 = e^(-t/T)

ln(0.25) = -t/T

T = -t/ln(0.25)

= -2/ln(0.25)

= 1.4426 s

we know, T = L/R

==> R = L/T

= 75/1.4426

= 52 ohms <<<<<---------Answer
