Exam points

  • use changing flux linkage to explain and calculate the sinusoidal emf of a rotating coil, including peak value, angular speed, turns, area and magnetic field
  • relate magnetic flux and induced emf in time, identifying their phase relationship and interpreting sine or cosine graphs for rotating coils
  • determine rms emf, frequency, period, rotation angle and axis from generator graphs, coil orientation and induced-emf waveforms

IB Physics HL D 4 5 Hl Rotating Coil Emf Questions question 1

[Maximum number: 2]

A coil is rotating in a region of magnetic field with angular speed 12.56rads112.56 \mathrm{rad} \mathrm{s}^{-1}. At t=0, the field is parallel to the surface of the coil.
