Question

A coil has 400 turns and self-inductance 7.50 mH. The current in the coil varies with time according to i = 1680 mA2 cos [πt/(0.0250s)].(a) What is the maximum emf induced in the coil?(b) What is the maximum average flux through each turn of the coil?(c) At t=0.0180s, what is the magnitude of the induced emf?

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) 1.58 V

(b) 0.0126 Wb

(c) 0.0493 V

Solution:

As per the question:

No. of turns in the coil, N = 400 turns

Self Inductance of the coil, L = 7.50 mH = $7.50\times 10^{- 3}\ H$

Current in the coil, i = $1680cos[\frac{\pi t}{0.0250}]$ A

where

$i_{max} = 1680\ mA = 1.680\ A$

Now,

(a)  To calculate the maximum emf:

We know that maximum emf induced in the coil is given by:

$e = \frac{Ldi}{dt}$

$e = L\frac{d}{dt}(1680)cos[\frac{\pi t}{0.0250}]$

$e = - 7.50\times 10^{- 3}\times \frac{\pi}{0.0250}\times \frac{d}{dt}(1680)sin[\frac{\pi t}{0.0250}]$

For maximum emf, $sin\theta$ should be maximum, i.e., 1

Now, the magnitude of the maximum emf is given by:

$|e| = 7.50\times 10^{- 3}\times 1680\times 10^{- 3}\times \frac{\pi}{0.0250} = 1.58\ V$

(b) To calculate the maximum average flux,we know that:

$\phi_{m, avg} = L\times i_{max} = 7.50\times 10^{- 3}\times 1.680 = 0.0126\ Wb$

(c) To calculate the magnitude of the induced emf at t = 0.0180 s:

$e = e_{o}sin{\pi t}{0.0250}$

$e = 7.50\times 10^{- 3}\times sin{\pi \times 0.0180}{0.0250} = 2.96\times 10^{- 4} =0.0493\ V$
