Suppose that we have a toroidal core with μ_r = 5000, R = 10 cm, r = 2 cm, and N = 100. The current is
i(t) = 2 sin(200πt)
Compute the flux and the flux linkages. Then, use Faraday’s law of induction to determine the voltage induced in the coil.
Learn more on how we answer questions.
First, the permeability of the core material is
μ = μ_rμ_0 = 5000 × 4π × 10^{−7}
Using Equation 15.18, we compute the flux:
Φ = BA = \frac{μNI}{2πR} πr^2 = \frac{μNIr^2} {2R} (15.18)
Φ = \frac{μNIr^2}{ 2R} = \frac{5000 × 4π × 10^{−7} × 100 × 2 \sin(200πt) × (2 × 10^{−2})^2}{ 2 × 10 × 10^{−2}}
= (2.513 × 10^{−3}) sin(200πt) Wb
The flux linkages are
λ = NΦ
= 100 × (2.513 × 10^{−3}) sin(200πt)
= 0.2513 sin(200πt) weber turns
Finally, using Faraday’s law (Equation 15.8), we can find the voltage induced in the coil by the changing field:
e = \frac{dλ} {dt} (15.8)
e = \frac{dλ}{dt} = 0.2513 × 200π cos(200πt)
= 157.9 cos(200πt) V
