An AC generator consists of 20 circular loops of wire with an area of 75 cm2. It has a maximum induced voltage of 24 V. If its armature rotates at a frequency of 60 Hz, what is the magnitude of the magnetic field, assuming it is uniform?

Faraday's law allows us to find the magnetic field that produces the emf in the rotating system is:

  • The magnetic field is:  B = 0.424 T

Faraday's law of induction states that when the magnetic flux changes in time, an induced electromotive force is produced.

            fem = [tex]- \frac{d \Phi_B }{dt}[/tex]  

where fem is the induced electromotive force and Ф the flux,

The magnetic flux is the scalar product of the field and the area.

           [tex]\Phi_B = B . A = B A \ cos \theta[/tex]  

In this case we have several turns, so the expression remains.

           fem = [tex]- N B A \ \frac{d cos \theta}{dt}[/tex]  

Indicate that the turns rotate at a constant frequency, therefore we can use the uniform rotational motion ratio.

           

           θ = w t

We substitute

 

         [tex]fem = - N B A \ \frac{d \ cos \ wt}{dt}\\fem = N B A w sin \ wt[/tex]

the maximum induced electromotive force occurs when the sine function is ±1

          fem = N B A w

They indicate that the fem = 24 V, the number of the turn is N = 20, the area is A = 75 cm² = 75 10⁻⁴ m² and the frequency f = 60 Hz

Frequency and angular velocity are related.

           w = 2π f

We substitute.

           fem = N B A 2π f

           [tex]B = \frac{fem }{2 \pi \ NA \ f}[/tex]  

Let's calculate.

         [tex]B= \frac{24 }{2\pi \ 20 \ 75 \ 10^{-4} 60}[/tex]B = 24 / 2pi 20 75 10-4 60

         B = 0.424 T

In conclusion, using Faraday's law we can find the magnetic field that produces the emf in the rotating system is:

  • The magnetic field is; B = 0.424 T
