Assignment on Electromagnetism
1.) Have you seen a magnet?

I've seen magnets that can be rectangular, circular, or U-shaped. It has two poles at either end, the
north and south poles. Other magnetic materials are attracted or repelled by it. Magnets can be found
in the most basic or most complex devices you use on a daily basis. From home appliances like the
refrigerator, microwave oven, and electric fan to office equipment like computers and printers,
Magnets are used in all of these devices.

2.) What about an electromagnet?

I have seen electromagnet too, it is made of a piece of metal that has been wounded or wrapped in
conductive wire, usually copper wires. It is mostly seen in electrical devices such as electric motors,
refrigerators, etc. We also made an electromagnet for an experiment in Physics way back in Senior
High School so I am familiar with electromagnet.

3.) What are their similarities, if any?

Magnet and electromagnet both attract or repel other magnetic materials. Both have north and south
poles and both magnets exhibit the properties of magnetism.

4.) What are their differences, if any?

Electromagnets are only temporarily magnetized and act as magnets when an electric current passes
through them, whereas magnets are permanently magnetized, always have a magnetic field and always
exhibit magnetic behavior. The magnetic strength of electromagnets is highly dependent on the
electrical current supplied, whereas the magnetic strength of a permanent magnet is determined by the
magnet's overall material, size, and shape.

Sample Problems:

1.) A square loop of side 5 cm is positioned in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude

0.7 T so that the plane of the loop makes an angle of 60° with the magnetic field. Find the flux passing
through the square loop?

Solution:

Magnetic flux equation: = BA cose

= BA cose

= (0.7)(0.05*0.05) cos30°

0 = 1.52xmWb Note: the in the formula above is the angle between B and a unit vector perpendicular
to the surface. The given angle 60° is with the surface of the loop not with a vector perpendicular to
the surface that is n.

2.) The plane of a 400-turn square coil of the side length 50 cm makes an angle of

60° with a uniform magnetic field. The magnitude of the magnetic field changes with time as 10-while
its direction is held fixed. What is the magnitude of the induced emf in the coil?

Solution:
Faraday's law of equation: € = o Magnetic flux formula: “ = BA cose

To get the induced emf in a single turn of a N-turn coil;

= 1 ABAC = CARA cose = (10)(0.5*0.5) cos60° E = 1.25 V

To get the total induced emf:

N = 400 E = NE

= 400*1.25

E = 500 V
