Question

Researchers have tracked the head and body movements of several flying insects, including blowflies, hover flies, and honeybees. They attach lightweight, flexible wires to a small metal coil on the insect's head, and another on its thorax, and then allow it to fly in a stationary magnetic field. As the coils move through the field, they experience induced emfs that can be analyzed by computer to determine the corresponding orientation of the head and thorax. Suppose the fly turns through an angle of 90 ? in 35ms . The coil has 95 turns of wire and a diameter of 2.4mm . The fly is immersed in a magnetic field of magnitude 0.20mT .

If the magnetic flux through one of the coils on the insect goes from a maximum to zero during this maneuver find the magnitude of the induced emf.

Express your answer using two significant figures.

E=___________ ?V

Explanation / Answer

I have solved this question earlier with different figures. Please workout using yours figures. If you need any further help just PM me. If I have helped you please rate me 5 stars first (before you rate anyone else)

Researchers have tracked the head and body movements of several flying insects, including blowflies, hover flies, and honeybees. They attach lightweight, flexible wires to a small metal coil on the insect's head, and another on its thorax, and then allow it to fly in a stationary magnetic field. As the coils move through the field, they experience induced emfs that can be analyzed by computer to determine the corresponding orientation of the head and thorax. Suppose the fly turns through an angle of 90 deg in 29 ms. The coil has 95 turns of wire and a diameter of 1.6 mm. The fly is immersed in a magnetic field of magnitude 0.17 mT.

If the magnetic flux through one of the coils on the insect goes from a maximum to zero during this maneuver find the magnitude of the induced emf.

E = ?? uV   

Using Faraday's Law

E=-N??/?t

E=-N?(BAcos?)/?t

E=-[95*(.17*10^(-3))*(pi/4*)(1.6^2)*10^(-6)*(cos90-cos0)]/{29*10^(-3)}

E=1.12 uV

Hope it's clear.
