Voltage through space and time

In the x y xy -plane, there is a triangular loop of conducting wire with vertices at ( 0 m , 0 m ) , ( 1 m , 0 m ) , (0\text{ m},0\text{ m}), (1\text{ m},0\text{ m}), and ( 1 m , 1 m ) (1\text{ m},1\text{ m}) . There is a magnetic flux density oriented perpendicular to the x y xy -plane which is described by the equation below: B = B 0 sin ( x 2 + t ) , B = B_0 \sin\big(x^{2}+t\big), where the parameter t t denotes time and B 0 = 1 Wb / m 2 B_0 = \SI[per-mode=symbol]{1}{\weber\per\meter\squared} .

What is the magnitude (in volts) of the maximum voltage induced in the loop (to 3 decimal places)?


The answer is 0.479.

We have B = sin ( x 2 + t ) , d A = y d x = x d x . B = \sin(x^2 + t), \\ dA = y dx = x dx.

λ \lambda is a flux linkage, and d λ = B d a = x sin ( x 2 + t ) d x λ = 0 1 x sin ( x 2 + t ) d x . d\lambda = B da = x \sin(x^2 + t)\ dx \\ \rightarrow \lambda = \int_0^1 x \sin(x^2 + t)\ dx.

Let u = x 2 + t , u = x^2 + t, then d u d x = 2 x d x = d u 2 x . \frac{du}{dx} = 2x \implies dx = \frac{du}{2x}. So, λ = 1 2 t 1 + t x sin u d u x = 1 2 t 1 + t sin u d u = 1 2 cos u t 1 + t = 1 2 [ cos t cos ( 1 + t ) ] . \begin{aligned} \lambda &= \frac12 \int_t^{1+t} x \sin u \ \frac{du}{x} \\ &= \frac12 \int_t^{1+t} \sin u \ du \\ &= -\frac12 \cos u \Big|_t^{1+t} \\ &= \frac12[\cos t - \cos(1+t)]. \end{aligned}

Resultant will be a sinusoid, so max and min have same magnitude.

Let V = d λ d t . V = \frac{d\lambda}{dt}. To find max V , V, take d V d t = d 2 λ d t 2 = 0 \frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{d^2\lambda}{dt^2} = 0 which leaves us with the same expression for λ . \lambda.

Thus, cos t = cos ( 1 + t ) . \cos t = \cos(1+t).

Using cos α = cos ( α ) , \cos \alpha = \cos (-\alpha), t = 1 t t m a x = 1 2 . t = -1 -t \implies t_{max} = -\frac12.

Since signal is periodic, t m a x = 1 2 ± 2 π n , n = 0 , 1 , 2 , . V = 1 2 [ sin t + sin ( 1 + t ) ] V m a x = 1 2 [ sin ( 1 2 ) + sin ( 1 2 ) ] 0.479 . \begin{aligned} t_{max} &= -\frac12 \pm 2\pi n, \qquad n=0,1,2, \ldots. \\ V &= \frac12 \big[-\sin t + \sin(1+t) \big] \\ V_{max} &= \frac12 \left[-\sin \left(-\frac12 \right) + \sin \left(\frac12 \right) \right] \approx \boxed{0.479}. \end{aligned}

I guess it's not that much hard for 400 points. Anyway nice problem :D :D :D

I didn't notice it was that high. Thanks though

After obtaining flux the same way that @Steven Chase obtained

I Used the trigonometric identity cosC-cosD = 2sin(C+D/2)sin(D-C/2)

Using this and putting we get Flux as sin(0.5)sin(t+0.5)

Differentiate this to get induced emf sin(0.5)cos(t+0.5)

EMF will be max when cos(t+0.5) = 1

So Emf max = sin(0.5) = 0.479
