Faradays law: magnetic coil question

In summary, the conversation discusses two magnetically coupled coils, with a voltage of 240v and frequency of 50Hz applied to coil 1, resulting in a current of 2A. The second coil is connected to a high impedance rms voltmeter reading 100v. The goal is to find the peak total flux linkage in coil 1. Through calculations, the flux linkage in coil 1 is found to be 0.7639 Wb-turns. However, the given answer of 1.079 Wb-turns may be taking into account the coupling coefficient between the two coils. The formula for finding the peak total flux linkage takes into account the coupling coefficient, which in this case is assumed to be

Homework Statement


(The information is for several questions and i have posted one of them)

Two coils magnetically coupled, Voltage of 240v, 50Hz applied to coil 1, current of 2A flows, second coil connected only to a high impedance rms voltmeter reading 100v

find: The peak total flux linkage with coil 1

Homework Equations


e = d{lamdar}/dt


The Attempt at a Solution



ok re-arranging the equation to find {lamdar} which is the flux linkage in coil 1

{lamdar}=et

e = 240 (as given)
t = 1/f (and as radial 2 x pi x f) so t = 1/(2 x pi x f)
t = 2.18... x10-3

so {lamdar}= 0.7639 Wb-turns

but the answer given say should be 1.079Wb-turns

please help will be very gratefull have been at this for hours now.

Dear Forum Member,

Thank you for your post. From your calculations, it seems that you have correctly found the flux linkage in coil 1. However, the given answer of 1.079 Wb-turns may be taking into account the coupling coefficient between the two coils. The coupling coefficient, denoted by k, is a measure of how well the magnetic field from one coil "couples" with the other coil. It is a value between 0 and 1, where 0 means no coupling and 1 means perfect coupling.

To find the peak total flux linkage, we can use the formula:

{lamdar} = k x {lamdar}1

where {lamdar}1 is the flux linkage in coil 1 and k is the coupling coefficient.

In this case, since the two coils are magnetically coupled, we can assume that k = 1. Therefore, the peak total flux linkage would be:

{lamdar} = 1 x 0.7639 Wb-turns = 0.7639 Wb-turns.

I hope this helps and clarifies the discrepancy between your answer and the given answer. If you have any further questions, please let me know.

Related to Faradays law: magnetic coil question

1. What is Faraday's Law?

Faraday's Law is a fundamental principle in electromagnetism that describes the relationship between a changing magnetic field and the induced electromotive force (EMF) in a conductor. It states that the magnitude of the EMF is directly proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic flux through the conductor.

2. How does a magnetic coil work?

A magnetic coil, also known as an electromagnet, works by using an electric current to create a magnetic field. This is achieved by wrapping a wire around a core material, such as iron, and passing an electric current through the wire. The magnetic field created can be adjusted by changing the strength of the current or the number of turns in the coil.

3. What factors affect the strength of the induced EMF in a magnetic coil?

The strength of the induced EMF in a magnetic coil depends on several factors, including the strength and direction of the magnetic field, the rate of change of the magnetic field, and the number of turns in the coil. Additionally, the material and shape of the core can also affect the strength of the induced EMF.

4. How is Faraday's Law used in practical applications?

Faraday's Law has numerous practical applications, including generators, transformers, and electric motors. It is also used in technologies such as MRI machines, particle accelerators, and electric power steering systems. Essentially, any device that uses an electric current or a changing magnetic field relies on Faraday's Law.

5. What is the difference between Faraday's Law and Lenz's Law?

Faraday's Law and Lenz's Law are both principles that describe the relationship between a changing magnetic field and induced EMF. However, while Faraday's Law states that the magnitude of the induced EMF is directly proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic field, Lenz's Law states that the direction of the induced EMF is always such that it opposes the change that produced it. In other words, Lenz's Law accounts for the direction of the induced EMF, while Faraday's Law only describes its magnitude.
