In a physics laboratory experiment, a coil with 250 turns enclosing an area of 1

Question

In a physics laboratory experiment, a coil with 250 turns enclosing an area of 10.9 cm2 is rotated during the time interval 5.00×102 s from a position in which its plane is perpendicular to Earth's magnetic field to one in which its plane is parallel to the field. The magnitude of Earth's magnetic field at the lab location is 5.40×105 T .

A) What is the total magnitude of the magnetic flux ( Phi_initial) through the coil before it is rotated?

B) What is the magnitude of the total magnetic flux Phi_final through the coil after it is rotated? Express your answer numerically, in webers, to at least three significant figures.

C) What is the magnitude of the average emf induced in the coil? Express your answer numerically (in volts) to at least three significant figures

Explanation / Answer

A) flux = magnetic field strength * number of turns* area
= 5.4* 10^(-5) * 250 * 10.9 * 10^(-4)

= 1.47 * 10^-5 T

B) Final flux is zero since the coil has its plane parallel to the field

C) emf induced = change in flux/ time taken
= 1.47 * 10^-5 / 5 * 10^-2

= 2.94 * 10^-4
