Induced Voltage Exercise (Part 2)

The magnetic flux density at all points in space is:

B ( x , y , t ) = ( t 2 x 2 + t 3 cos ( y ) ) k ^ \vec{B}(x,y,t) = \Big( t^2 x^2 + t^3 \cos(y) \Big)\, \hat{k}

There is a circular loop of wire with radius 1 1 in the x y xy plane, centered on the origin. What is the magnitude of the voltage induced in the loop at time t = 2 t = 2 ?

Details and Assumptions:
1) k ^ \hat{k} is a unit vector along the z z axis


The answer is 36.3.

The area element in polar co-ordinates is r d r d θ rdrd\theta . Now, for the magnetic flux, we have

ϕ = ( t 2 x 2 + t 3 cos y ) d A \phi\ =\ \int\left(t^{2}x^{2}+t^{3}\cos y\right)\cdot dA

= 0 2 π 0 1 ( t 2 ( r cos θ ) 2 + t 3 cos ( r sin θ ) ) r d r d θ =\int_{0}^{2\pi}\int_{0}^{1}\left(t^{2}\left(r\cos\theta\right)^{2}+t^{3}\cos\left(r\sin\theta\right)\right)rdrd\theta

Now, if we denote a = 0 2 π 0 1 r 3 cos 2 θ d r d θ a\ =\ \int_{0}^{2\pi}\int_{0}^{1}r^{3}\cos^{2}\theta drd\theta and b = 0 2 π 0 1 r cos ( r sin θ ) d r d θ b=\int_{0}^{2\pi}\int_{0}^{1}r\cos\left(r\sin\theta\right)drd\theta , then the induced voltage (using Lenz's Law ) comes out to be

V ( t ) = ( 2 a t + 3 t 2 b ) V\left(t\right)=-\left(2at\ +\ 3t^{2}b\right)

So, we have V ( 2 ) = 36.3206 \left|V\left(2\right)\right|=36.3206

Note that a a can be evaluated manually but b b needs a numerical approximation.
