Question

A generator consists of 1000 turns of wire around a coil of area 10cm2 (0.0010m 2 ). Calculate the peak output voltage of this generator when operating at 100 cycles/second in a 0.50 tesla field.

Answer 1

The peak output voltage of this generator is 314.2 V.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

the number of turns of the coil, N = 1000 turns

area of the coil, A = 0.001 m²

angular frequency of the coil, f = 100 cycles/seconds

magnitude of the magnetic field, B = 0.5 T

The peak output voltage of this generator is given by;

E = NBAω

Where;

ω is the angular velocity = 2πf

E = NBA(2πf)

E = 1000 x 0.5 x 0.001(2 x π x 100)

E = 314.2 V

Therefore, the peak output voltage of this generator is 314.2 V.
