Question

Investigators are researching the appearance of a strange movement of objects in what the local community considers a haunted house. The owners of the house attribute the cause to poltergeists; others blame overly strong magnetic fields could be the cause. As a scientific investigator of paranormal claims, you decide to investigate. You will start by focusing on magnetic fields.* Using a coil made of 321 turns of single-strand copper wire, you use a motor to rotate the coil at a constant angular speed of 70.0 revolutions per second at various orientations and locations throughout the room. In one particularly signficant orientation, you notice a maximum induced voltage of 3.15 V appearing in the coil. If the radius of the coils is 1.00 cm, how strong was the magnetic field that produced this EMF?

Explanation / Answer

V = NBAW

So, B = V/NAW = 3.15/(321*3.14*0.01^2*70*2*3.14) = 0.0711 T <-----answer
