Q1. Circle the right answer.

1- A wire carrying current flowing out of the screen in a magnetic field directed to the left,
the induced force acts downward.
We recall that the induced force due to the interactions of a magnetic field of flux density B and
a wire carrying a current and of length 𝑙 is 𝐹 = 𝐼𝑙 × 𝑩 and the induced voltage is given by 𝑒 =
(𝑣 × 𝑩). 𝑙 where 𝑣is the velocity vector of the wire.
A. True
B. False

2- The induced voltage (back emf) due to a moving wire in a magnetic field

A. depends only on the magnetic flux density

B. is larger for longer wire exposed to the magnetic field
C. depends only on the velocity of the wire
D. is smaller for faster motion of the wire

3- Which of these systems is an example of an electromechanical system?

A. Printed circuit board

B. Heat exchanger
C. Galvanometer
D. Rotating shaft
E. Lever

4- A loudspeaker is made of a bobbin (cylindrical shape) with a radius of 4 cm and

wrapped with a coil that has 10 turns. The total length of the coil is
A. 0.4 m
B. 1.5 m
C. 2.0 m
D. 2.5 m
E. 5.0 m
Q2. Consider the DC motor shown in the below figure consisting of a rotor of radius a wrapped
with a coil of wire, whose rotational motion to be controlled, attached to a torsional spring of
stiffness K, and a permanent magnet providing a flux density B. The viscous friction coefficient
is denoted by b. The angular motion of the rotor is induced by the interaction of the magnetic
field and the current i. The input voltage source used to rotate the rotor is denoted by ei(t). The
rotor has moment of inertia J. Note that the total length of the wire is l.
The total coil resistance and inductance are modeled by lumped elements having values R and L,
respectively. The output of the system is the angle θ.
We recall that the induced force due to the interactions of a magnetic field of flux density B and a
wire carrying a current I and of length l is and the induced voltage is given by
where v is the velocity vector of the wire.
