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?
|dw:1417858649047:dw|
I ask you, what is the value of the component of magnetic field along the coil direction?
@Leo7 please try
if B_0 is the magnetic field, which is the value of the component of B_0 along the coil axis
B=0.25 T
B = 0.25cos(60)
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
Does the 3 turns have any effect on the equation? The equation i am using is B(flux) = BAcos(x)
yes! because your magnetic field is acting on each turn: so flux= \[N*0.25*\cos(60°)*(area of each turn)\]
I'm sorry but your equations kept on coming out as [Math Processing Error]
flux across each turn is: 0.25*cos(60°)*5*10^(-4) are you agree?
yup
ok, now you have to multiply that number by N, which is total turns, namely N=3, please. are you agree, please?
yup
ok, we got your answer!
i will get 1.875 x 10^-4
that's right!
ans : 3.2 x 10^-4Wb
I see, let me think....
how do you got your answer?
from my lecturer's tutorial answer
but don't have the solutions
is the tutorial equals to our exercise?
yup
may be a printing error?
oh I see. Thanks for your help.
thanks!
@Leo7 I got your explamnation
|dw:1417860976764:dw| try this, in other word B is: 0.25*cos(30°)
