1. Calculate the average voltage induced in a coil of 300 turns through
which the flux changes from 250,000 to 20,000 maxwells in 0.15
seconds.
SOLUTION:

E = 4.6 volts
2. How many turns of wire are there in a coil in which 35.7 volts are
induced when the flux through it increases uniformly at the rate of 3
x 106

maxwells per second?

SOLUTION:

N = 1190 turns of wire

3. A voltage wave has the equation e = 170 sin . Calculate the

instantaneous values of voltage for the following angles: 30 , 60 ,
75 , 105 , 135 , 180 , 270 , and 330 .

SOLUTION:
e = 170 sin 30

e = 170 sin 60

e = 170 sin 75

e = 170 sin 105

e = 85 V

e = 147.22 V

e = 164.21 V

e = 164.21 V

e = 170 sin 135

e = 170 sin 180

e = 170 sin 270 e = 170 sin 330

e = 120.21 V e = 0

e = -170 V

e = -85 V

4. An alternator has 8 poles. (a) At what speed must it be driven to

develop 60 cycles? 25 cycles? 50 cycles? 40 cycles? (b) What
frequency will be developed if the speed is 825 rpm? 1,350 rpm? 1,800
rpm? 450 rpm?
SOLUTION:
A. f =

= 900 rpm

25 cycles =

5. A 117-volt 60-cycle source is connected to a series circuit consisting of

three resistors. If the ohmic values of the latter are 20, 30, 40 ohms,
respectively, calculate the current through the circuit and the voltage
drop across each resistor.
SOLUTION:
I=

117
20+ 30+40

= 1.3 amperes

E20 = 20 x 1.3 = 26 Volts

E30 = 30 x 1.3 = 39 Volts
E40 = 40 x 1.3 = 52 Volts
6. Three incandescent lamps (resistors) are connected in parallel, and to
a 115-volt 60-cycle source. If the lamp ratings are 75, 100, 150 watts,
calculate the rms value of the resultant current.
SOLUTION:
I75 = 75/115 = 0.65 amp
I100 = 100/115 = 0.87 amp
I150 = 150/115 = 1.30

Itotal = 2.82 amperes
