Question

A fixed 11.2-cm-diameter wire coil is perpendicular to a magnetic field 0.53 T pointing up. In 0.10 s , the field is changed to 0.24 T pointing down. What is the average induced emf in the coil?

Answer 1

Answer:

The average induced emf in the coil is 0.0286 V

Explanation:

Given;

diameter of the wire, d = 11.2 cm = 0.112 m

initial magnetic field, B₁ = 0.53 T

final magnetic field, B₂ = 0.24 T

time of change in magnetic field, t = 0.1 s

The induced emf in the coil is calculated as;

E = A(dB)/dt

where;

A is area of the coil = πr²

r is the radius of the wire coil = 0.112m / 2 = 0.056 m

A = π(0.056)²

A = 0.00985 m²

E = -0.00985(B₂-B₁)/t

E = 0.00985(B₁-B₂)/t

E = 0.00985(0.53 - 0.24)/0.1

E = 0.00985 (0.29)/ 0.1

E = 0.0286 V

Therefore, the average induced emf in the coil is 0.0286 V
