Question

A rectangular coil having N turns and measuring 15 cm by 25 cm is rotating in a uniform 1.6-T magnetic field with a frequency of 75 Hz. The rotation axis is perpendicular to the direction of the field. If the coil develops a sinusoidal emf of maximum value 56.9 V, what is the value of N?

A) 2
B) 4
C) 6
D) 8
E) 10

Answer 1

A) 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

magnetic field of the coil, B = 1.6 T

frequency of the coil, f = 75 Hz

maximum emf developed in the coil, E = 56.9 V

area of the coil, A = 0.15 m x 0.25 m = 0.0375 m²

The maximum emf in the coil is given by;

E = NBAω

Where;

N is the number of turns

ω is the angular velocity = 2πf = 2 x 3.142 x 75 = 471.3 rad/s

N = E / BAω

N = 56.9 / (1.6 x 0.0375 x 471.3)

N = 2 turns

Therefore, the value of N is 2

A) 2
