Practice question
Question
A coil of 120 turns and area 0.04 m² is in a 0.09 T field that drops to zero in 0.3 s. What is the
induced emf?
Explanation
**Energy stored in inductor** U =½ L I² (J), L inductance (H), I current (A), resides in magnetic field, energy density u = B²/(2μ₀) (J/m³), B field (T), μ₀=4π×10⁻⁷ H/m. For solenoid B=μ₀ n I, volume V= A l, U = (B²/2μ₀) V =½ (μ₀ n² A l) I² =½ L I², consistent. Δ Φ = B A = 0.09 × 0.04 = 0.0036 Wb . ε = N (Δ Φ/Δ t) = 120 × (0.0036/0.3) = 120 × 0.012 = 1.44 V . Using Φ = B A cosθ, e = -N dΦ/dt = -N A dB/dt = B l v = N B
