Electromagnetism}Faraday Law

The voltage induced is equal to the change in magnetic flux \epsilon = -\frac{\partial \Phi}{\partial t}, where \Phi =\int \vec{B} \cdot d\vec{A}.

Noting the initial condition (\Phi(t=0)=0), since the field and area normal are perpendicular), one finds that B \cdot dA = B \sin(\omega t) \pi r^2. Thus, d\Phi/dt = \omega B \cos(\omega t) \pi r^2.

Now, to find the current, one uses Ohm's Law in Faraday's Law to get IR/N=\dot{\Phi}, where N is the number of turns. Thus, I = N/R \dot{\Phi} = NB\omega / R \cos(\omega t) \pi r^2 = 15/2 \times 300/9 \cos(\omega t) \pi (1/100)^2=250E-4\cos(\omega t). This is choice (E).

2016-09-07 14:53:11		 I\'m not sure there\'s a simpler way to figure out the trig part. The only \"memorization\" needed is: (a) what are sin(0) and cos(0)? (b) what is the derivative of sin(wt) or cos(wt)? The question provides the initial condition of the n vector being parallel to the y-axis. When that is the case, there is no magnetic flux through the coil, right? So, when t=0, we should have B=0. sin(0)=0, so we\'ll use sine, not cosine. And you know you need to use some sort of periodic function since it\'s rotating...once it rotates such that the n vector lies parallel to the x-axis, we have the maximum flux possible, right? sin(90)=1, so that confirms that we should use sine.Then, since we get our emf from d(phi)/dt, we need the derivative of sin(wt), which is w*cos(wt).Does that help? [also, sorry if this text gets garbled...I\'m not sure why slashes are being randomly inserted.]

\frac{d \phi}{d t} must therefore be a cosine.

Do some algebra and you realize that it'll be something like 1.5^2, so it'll have something ~2.25 or 2.5. The only answer that fits the bill is E.		NEC

2008-11-07 19:17:30		 The problem states that "...the coil resistance is 9 \Omega, which I interpret as the resistance of the entire coil. Since Yosun found the flux for 1 turn of the coil, you would need to account for the number of turns in the coil by dividing the total resistance by N (if, however one found the flux for the entire coil - i.e. \Phi=NB\pir^2sin(\omegat) - one would not need to find the resistance per turn.)
Thanks Yosun for this kick-ass site! :)

2006-11-29 21:16:46		What do you mean by \"one uses Ohm's Law in Faraday's Law"? Can you be more specific about it? It seems to me that you are taking the R given in the question and merely using it as L

2007-10-29 09:53:54		 I'm pretty sure she just means,
take Ohm's law V=IR and substitute the expression for the induced voltage given by Faraday's law:
EMF=-\frac{\partial \Phi_B}{\partial t}
Of course you need to take into account the number of turns...
