Practice question
Question
A coil of 75 turns and area 0.05 m² is in a 0.12 T field that drops to zero in 0.25 s. What is the
induced emf?
Explanation
**Self-induction** emf induced in coil due to change in its own current, e = -L dI/dt, L self-inductance (H), L = μ₀ N² A / l for solenoid, N turns, A area (m²), l length (m), μ₀=4π×10⁻⁷ H/m. For solenoid 650 turns/m means n=650, A=0.014 m², L = μ₀ n² A l? Actually per unit length? For length l, N=n l, L= μ₀ n² A l, if l=1 m, L=4π×10⁻⁷×650²×0.014=7.43×10⁻³ H, dI/dt=(3-6)/0.25=-12 A/s, e= -L×(-12)=0.089 V. Δ Φ = B A = 0.12 × 0.05 = 0.006 Wb . ε = N (Δ Φ/Δ t) = 75 × (0.006/0.25) = 75 × 0.024 = 1.8
