ELE401 - Field Theory: Tutorial Problems Week 11

1. The loop shows in Figure 1 is rotating about the z-axis in the a direction at w [rad/s]. There is a magnetic ux density eld B = (B1 t + B0 )a x [T] present. (a) Solve for the voltage across the resistor R using Vemf = (u B ) dl. (b) Indicate the direction of the current owing in the loop and solve for the voltage and why is this answer dierent from 1a? across the resistor R using Vemf = t (c) Solve for the instantaneous power p(t), where p(t) =
2 Vemf . R
