A simple generator has a square armature 6.0 cm on a side. The armature has 85 turns of 0.59-mm-diameter copper wire and rotates in a 0.65-T magnetic field. The generator is used to power a lightbulb rated at 12.0 V and 25.0 W. At what rate should the generator rotate to provide 12.0 V (rms) to the bulb? Consider the resistance of the wire on the armature.

Answer :

Answer:

f=15.5 Hz

Explanation:

Let's determine the internal resistance:

[tex]R=\frac{(p*L)}{A}[/tex]

ρ = 1.68*10^-8 Ω m

[tex]L=0.060m*4*60 = 14.4m[/tex]

[tex]A=\pi*r^2\\A= \pi*(5.9x10^-4m/2)^2=2.734*10^-7m^2[/tex]

[tex]R=(1.68*10^-8)*(14.4m)/(2.734*10^-7m^2)= 0.884[/tex]Ω

Since the bulb is rated at 12.0 V and 25.0 W,

Current

[tex]I=\frac{25W}{12.0v}=2.08 A[/tex]

Therefore, voltage drop inside generator =

[tex]V=(2.08 A)*(0.88)=2.35v[/tex]

Actual EMF required is

[tex]E_{mf}=12.0v+2.35v=14.35v[/tex]

Note that this is an RMS value.  

The peak voltage is

[tex]v_{peak}=14.15v*\sqrt{2} =20.29v[/tex]

For a generator, by Faraday's Law,

[tex]E_{(max)}=N*B*A*w[/tex]

[tex]20.29v=(60)*(0.650T)*(0.06m)^2[/tex]*ω

ω[tex]=144.5\frac{rad}{s}[/tex]

f=ω/(2π)=

f=144.5 rad/s/(2π)

f=23.001 Hz

The angular speed of the generator is 1.125 x 10⁶ rad/s.

Resistance of the copper wire

The resistance of the copper wire is calculated as follows;

[tex]R = \frac{\rho L}{A} \\\\R = \frac{(1.68 \times 10^{-8} ) \times (4 \times 0.06)}{\pi (0.295 \times 10^{-3})^2} = 0.0147 \ ohms[/tex]

Current in the armature

I = P/V

I = 25/12

I = 2.1

Voltage drop in the generator

V = IR

V = 2.1 x 0.0147

V = 0.031 V

Total emf of the generator

E = 0.031 + 12

E = 12.031 V

Peak voltage

[tex]V_o =12.031 \times \sqrt{2} \\\\v_0 = 17 \ V[/tex]

Angular speed of the generator

[tex]V_o= NBA \omega\\\\\omega = \frac{V_0}{NBA} \\\\\omega = \frac{17}{85 \times \times 0.65 \times \pi \times (0.295 \times 10^{-3})^2} \\\\\omega = 1.125 \times 10^6 \ rad/s[/tex]
