A toroidal solenoid has 600 turns, cross-sectional area 6.90 cm2, and mean radius 4.30 cm.
a) Calculate the coil's self-inductance.
b) If the current decreases uniformly from 5.00 A to 2.00 A in 3.00 ms , calculate the self-induced emf in the coil.
c) The current is directed from terminal a of the coil to terminal b. Is the direction of the induced emf from a to b or from b to a?

Respuesta :

(a) The coil's self-inductance is 7.26 mH.

(b) The self-induced emf in the coil is 7.26 V

(c) The direction of the induced emf is from b to a.

Coil's self-inductance

L = N²μA/I

L = (600² x 4π x 10⁻⁷ x 6.9 x 10⁻⁴)/(0.043)

L = 7.26 x 10⁻³ H

L = 7.26 mH

Self-induced emf in the coil

emf = N(ΔBA)/t

where;

  • B is magnetic field
  • A is area
  • N is number of turns
  • t is time

B = μNI/L

B1 = (4π x 10⁻⁷ x 600 x 5)/0.043

B1 = 0.0876 T

B2 =  (4π x 10⁻⁷ x 600 x 2)/0.043

B2 = 0.035 T

emf = NΔBA/t

emf = (600)(0.0876 - 0.035)(6.9 x 10⁻⁴) / (3 x 10⁻³)

emf = 7.26 V

The direction of the induced emf is always opposite to the direction of the applied current.

Thus, the direction of the induced emf is from b to a.
