A coil consists of three turns of wire. Each turn encloses an area of 5.0 x?10^-4 m2. The plane of the coil is positioned at 60° to the direction of a magnetic field of 0·25 T. What is the value of the magnetic flux through the coil?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I ask you, what is the value of the component of magnetic field along the coil direction?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

@Leo7 please try

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

if B_0 is the magnetic field, which is the value of the component of B_0 along the coil axis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B=0.25 T

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B = 0.25cos(60)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please note that you coil have not the direction of magnetic field, so the component must be less than o.25 T, it is equals to: \[0.25*\cos(60°)=...\] please try to calculate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does the 3 turns have any effect on the equation? The equation i am using is B(flux) = BAcos(x)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes! because your magnetic field is acting on each turn: so flux= \[N*0.25*\cos(60°)*(area of each turn)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm sorry but your equations kept on coming out as [Math Processing Error]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

flux across each turn is: 0.25*cos(60°)*5*10^(-4) are you agree?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

ok, now you have to multiply that number by N, which is total turns, namely N=3, please. are you agree, please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

ok, we got your answer!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i will get 1.875 x 10^-4

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ans : 3.2 x 10^-4Wb

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I see, let me think....

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

how do you got your answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

from my lecturer's tutorial answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but don't have the solutions

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

is the tutorial equals to our exercise?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

may be a printing error?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh I see. Thanks for your help.

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

thanks!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

@Leo7 I got your explamnation

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

|dw:1417860976764:dw| try this, in other word B is: 0.25*cos(30°)
