IMPORTANT
1. The departmental rules relevant to electronically graded assessments apply.
2. Answer all questions in the Excel template provided on AMS and upload the completed Excel
submission to AMS. The question numbering in ( ) corresponds to the Excel template number-
ing.
3. Unless the answer is an integer, round all answers to three significant figures,e.g., if the
absolute value for an answer is 531.94 Ω, the answer to 3 significant figures would be 532 Ω or
0.532 kΩ.
4. Answers without units or with the incorrect units will be marked incorrect.
5. For multiple choice questions, write down the number corresponding to the correct answer on
your answer sheet.

Question 2 / Vraag 2 (4)

The following figure shows a simple rotating loop inside a uniformly distributed
magnetic field. The loop, consisting of conductors ab and cd, can rotate freely ei-
ther clockwise or counter clockwise. The loop has two commutating segments on
its terminals which are in turn in contact with two stationary brushes (ie a commu-
tator). All values to be calculated are instantaneous values for the position shown.
A DC voltage of Vxy = 20 V is applied to terminals xy. Given:
r = 3 cm, l = 10 cm, B = 20 T, Rloop = 2 Ω.
Calculate or determine the following parameters:

(2) The magnitude of the force on each of the conductors ab and cd. (2)
(3) Total torque developed. (1)
(4) Direction of rotation. Write ‘1’ for CW (Clock Wise) or ‘2’ for CCW (Counter
CW) in the numeric column of the spreadsheet. (1)

Solution:

V 20
(2) From f = ilB, and i = R
= 2
= 10 A. Therefore f = 10 × 0.1 × 20 = 20 N

(3) T = 2 × f × r = 2 × 20 × 0.03 = 1.2 Nm.

(4) CCW.

Question 3 / Vraag 3 (3)

A uniform flux density of 2 T is perpendicular to the plane of a five-turn coil of
radius 10 cm.
Determine:

(5) The flux linking the coil. (1)

(6) Suppose the field is decreased to zero at a uniform rate in 1 ms. What is the
magnitude of the voltage induced in the coil? (2)

Solution:

culations. Calculate only the parameters needed to obtain the final answer(s) (in
