A very long, straight solenoid with a cross-sectional area of 1.94 cm^2 is wound with 87.2 turns of wire per centimeter. Starting at t = 0, the current in the solenoid is increasing according to i(t)=(0.160A/s^2)t^2. A secondary winding of 5.0 turns encircles the solenoid at its center, such that the secondary winding has the same cross-sectional area as the solenoid.
A) What is the magnitude of the emf induced in the secondary winding at the instant that the current in the solenoid is 3.2A ?

Answer:

Explanation:

First of all, we have to take into account that the emf induced in a solenoid is given by

emf = -n*ΔФ/Δt

where n is the number of turns of wire per cm and ΔФ is the change in the magnetic flux. Hence, we have to calculate ΔФ by taking into account the magnetic field produced by the solenoid

[tex]B=\mu n I = (4\pi *10^{-7}\frac{Tm}{A})(\frac{87.2}{10^{-2}m})(3.2A)=0.03T[/tex]

This is the magnetic field that crosses the secondary winding. Now, we have to compute the flux

[tex]\Phi = BA=(0.03T)(1.94*10^{-4}m^{2})=6.8*10^{-6}Tm^{2}[/tex]

and for the calculation of the change in time we have to take t from the expression for i(t)

[tex]i(t)=(0.160A/s^{2})t^{2}=3.2A\\t=\sqrt{\frac{3.2A}{0.160A/s^{2}}}=4.47s[/tex]

Hence, the emf in the secondary winding (with n=5) is:

[tex]emf=-(5)\frac{6.8*10^{-6}Tm^{2}-0}{4.47s-0}=7.6*10^{-6}V[/tex]

I hope this is usefull for you

Given Information:  

current = I = 3.2 A

Area of solenoid = A = 1.94 cm² = 0.94x10⁻³ m²

Turns per cm at primary side = n = 87.2 turns/cm = 8720 turns/m

current at time 0 = i(t) = (0.160 A/s²) t²

Number of turns secondary side = N = 5 turns

Required Information:  

Induced emf at secondary side = ξ = ?  

Answer:

Induced emf at secondary side ξ = -7.605x10⁻⁶ V

Explanation:

From the Faraday's law the induced EMF ξ is given by  

ξ = -NΔΦ/Δt  

t can be found using the given i(t)

3.2 = 0.160 t²

t² = 3.2/0.160

t = √3.2/0.160

t = 4.472 seconds

change in flux ΔΦ is given by

ΔΦ = BA

ΔΦ  = μ₀nIA

ΔΦ  = 4πx10⁻⁷*8720*3.2*0.194x10⁻³

ΔΦ  = 6.802x10⁻⁶ Tm²

So the induced emf in the secondary winding is

ξ = -NΔΦ/Δt  

ξ = -5*6.802x10⁻⁶/4.472

ξ = -7.605x10⁻⁶ V

The negative sign indicates that the induced emf opposes the change that produced it in the first place.
