2)

A rectangular loop rotates with a constant angular velocity about an axis as shown. It makes one complete rotation in 0.04 s. The magnetic field lines are straight and parallel as shown. They are perpendicular to the axis of rotation. The lengths are c= 0.8 m and d= 4.3 m, the strength of the magnetic field is 0.08 T. The total resistance of the loop is 160 %u03A9.

Explanation / Answer

(1) n = N/L = turns per unit length


B = u*(n)*I = 4pi*10^-7*(100/0.1)*2 = 8*pi*10^-4 T


Flux = B*S = 8*pi*10^-4*pi*(10^-2)^2 = 8*pi^2*10^-8 Wb = 7.88*10^-7 Wb


(2)

Angular velocity =w = 2*pi/T = 2*pi/0.04 = 50*pi

B = 0.08 T

R = 160 Ohm

Area = d*2c = 4.3*1.6 = 6.88 m^2


(A) Flux = B.A = B*A*cos(u)

Where u is the angle between normal and magnetic field.


Flux = B*A*cos(0) = 0.08*6.88*1 = 0.5504 T-m^2


(B) Flux = B*A*cos(30) = 0.08*6.88*0.866 = 0.476 T-m^2


(C) Flux = B*A*cos(90) = B*A*0 = 0 T-m^2


(D) Emf = -d(FLUX)/dt = B*A*sin(u)*du/dt = B*A*w*sin(u)


Only sin(u) is variable which is max at u = 90 degrees

emf in the loop is at its maximum value at 90 degrees


(E) Max I = Max Emf/R = B*A*w/R = 0.08*6.88*50*pi / 160 = 0.54 Amp


(F) Torque = [2*I*(L x B)]*r

L x B = L*B*sin(90) = L*B = 4.3*0.08 = 0.344

Where I Is current Max

L IS THE length of vetical wires = d = 4.3 m

r is radius of rotation of vertical wires = 0.8 m


Torque = 2*0.54*0.344*0.8 = 0.297 N-m
