Question

f) is not 7.2 or 26.25

h) is not 2.625 or 19.05

A simple conductor with a resistance between the end points of 0.8 Ohm is oriented perpendicular to a magnetic field of B = 0.5 Wb/m^2 It is observed to be moving to the right at a speed of u = 50 m/s as shown in the sketch below. The mechanical losses are small enough to be ignored. The conductor is 35cm long and carries a current of 3A directed into the page/screen. Compute or otherwise determine the following: a) F_Lorentz b)The direction of the Lorentz force is c) The Faraday emf is d)The direction of the Faraday emf is e)This machine is a f) The electrical power involved in this process is g)This power is h)The mechanical power involved in this process is i) The machine is

Explanation / Answer

(a)


FLorentz = I*L*B = 3*0.35*0.5 = 0.525 N


(b)


to the right

(c)


faraday emf = B*u*L = 0.5*50*0.35 = 8.75 V


(d)


as the conductor moves the magnetic flux increases

so induced magnetic flux is downwards

induced current is out of page

out of page

(e)


motor


(f)

electrical power = emf^2/R = 8.75^2/0.8 = 95.7 W


(g)


consumed


(h)


mechanical power = FL*u = 0.525*50 = 26.3 W
