The maximum strength of the earth's magnetic field is about 6.9 10-5 T near the south magnetic pole. In principle, this field could be used with a rotating coil to generate 60.0-Hz ac electricity. What is the minimum number of turns (area per turn

Answer:

Number of turns, [tex]N=5\times 10^5[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

The maximum strength of the Earth's magnetic field, [tex]B=6.9\times 10^{-5}\ T[/tex]

This field could be used with a rotating coil to generate 60.0-Hz ac electricity.

Let us assume that the coil must have to produce an rms voltage of 120 V and area per turn is 0.022 meter square.

[tex]\epsilon=\sqrt{2} V_{rms}\\\\\epsilon=\sqrt 2\times 120\\\\\epsilon=169.7\ V[/tex]

The emf induced in the coil is given by :

[tex]\epsilon=NAB\omega\\\\\epsilon=2\pi NABf[/tex]

N is the number of turns

f is the frequency

[tex]N=\dfrac{\epsilon}{2\pi ABf}\\\\N=\dfrac{169.7}{2\pi 0.022\times 6.9\times 10^{-5}\times 60}\\\\N=2.96\times 10^5[/tex]

or

[tex]N=5\times 10^5[/tex]

So, there are [tex]5\times 10^5[/tex] turns in the coil.
