Practice question
Question
A wheel with 8 spokes of 0.55 m each rotates at 50 rpm in a 0.4 T field. What is the induced emf?
Explanation
**Eddy currents** are circulating currents induced in bulk conductor by changing flux, oppose motion, cause damping, heating, energy loss, minimized by laminating core into thin sheets insulated, increasing resistance, reducing eddy current magnitude, used in induction heating and braking. ω = 2π × (50/60) = (5π/3) rad/s . ε = (1/2) B ω R² = (1/2) × 0.4 × (5π/3) × (0.55)² = 0.3166 V ≈ 0.317 V . Using Φ = B A cosθ, e = -N dΦ/dt = -N A dB/dt = B l v = N B A ω sinωt, L = μ₀ N²A/l, M = e/(dI/dt) and U = ½ L
