Math Problem Statement

A rectangular coil, measuring 30cm by 20 cm and having 40 turns, is rotated about an axis coinciding with one of its longer sides at a speed of 1500 r/min in a uniform magnetic field of flux density 0.075T. Find, from the first principles, an expression for the instantaneous emf induced in the coil, if the flux is at right angle to the axis of rotation. Evaluate this emf at an instant 0.002s after the plane of the coil has been perpendicular to the field.

Solution

Solution

Given:

  1. Dimensions of the coil:
    • Length (ll) = 30cm=0.30m30 \, \text{cm} = 0.30 \, \text{m}
    • Width (ww) = 20cm=0.20m20 \, \text{cm} = 0.20 \, \text{m}
    • Number of turns (NN) = 40
  2. Angular speed:
    • Speed in rotations per minute (r/min\text{r/min}) = 1500
    • Angular velocity (ω\omega) in radians per second is calculated as: ω=1500×2π60=50πrad/s\omega = \frac{1500 \times 2\pi}{60} = 50\pi \, \text{rad/s}
  3. Flux density (BB) = 0.075T0.075 \, \text{T}
  4. Instantaneous emf evaluation time:
    • t=0.002st = 0.002 \, \text{s}

Expression for Induced EMF

Magnetic Flux through the Coil

The flux through one turn of the coil is: ϕ=BAcos(θ)\phi = B \cdot A \cdot \cos(\theta) where:

  • A=lw=0.300.20=0.06m2A = l \cdot w = 0.30 \cdot 0.20 = 0.06 \, \text{m}^2
  • θ=ωt\theta = \omega t (the angle between the field and the normal to the coil's plane).

Thus, the flux through one turn is: ϕ=0.0750.06cos(ωt)=0.0045cos(ωt)Wb.\phi = 0.075 \cdot 0.06 \cdot \cos(\omega t) = 0.0045 \cdot \cos(\omega t) \, \text{Wb}.

The total flux through the N=40N = 40 turns is: Φ=Nϕ=400.0045cos(ωt)=0.18cos(ωt)Wb.\Phi = N \cdot \phi = 40 \cdot 0.0045 \cdot \cos(\omega t) = 0.18 \cdot \cos(\omega t) \, \text{Wb}.


Induced EMF (ee)

The emf induced is the time derivative of the total flux: e=dΦdt.e = -\frac{d\Phi}{dt}.

Substituting Φ=0.18cos(ωt)\Phi = 0.18 \cos(\omega t): e=ddt[0.18cos(ωt)]=0.18(ωsin(ωt))=0.18ωsin(ωt).e = -\frac{d}{dt}[0.18 \cdot \cos(\omega t)] = -0.18 \cdot (-\omega \sin(\omega t)) = 0.18 \omega \sin(\omega t).

Substituting ω=50πrad/s\omega = 50\pi \, \text{rad/s}: e=0.1850πsin(50πt)=9πsin(50πt)V.e = 0.18 \cdot 50\pi \cdot \sin(50\pi t) = 9\pi \sin(50\pi t) \, \text{V}.

Thus, the instantaneous emf is: e=9πsin(50πt)V.\boxed{e = 9\pi \sin(50\pi t) \, \text{V}}.


Evaluate EMF at t=0.002st = 0.002 \, \text{s}

Substitute t=0.002st = 0.002 \, \text{s} into e=9πsin(50πt)e = 9\pi \sin(50\pi t): e=9πsin(50π0.002)=9πsin(0.1π).e = 9\pi \sin(50\pi \cdot 0.002) = 9\pi \sin(0.1\pi).

The value of sin(0.1π)\sin(0.1\pi) is: sin(0.1π)=sin(18)0.309.\sin(0.1\pi) = \sin(18^\circ) \approx 0.309.

Substitute this into the equation: e=9π0.3098.74V.e = 9\pi \cdot 0.309 \approx 8.74 \, \text{V}.


Final Answer:

  1. Expression for instantaneous emf: e=9πsin(50πt)V.e = 9\pi \sin(50\pi t) \, \text{V}.
  2. EMF at t=0.002st = 0.002 \, \text{s}: e8.74V.e \approx 8.74 \, \text{V}.
