The rotor in a certain electric motor is a flat, rectangular coil with 84 turns of wire and dimensions 2.61 cm by 3.64 cm. The rotor rotates in a uniform magnetic field of 0.800 T. When the plane of the rotor is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field, the rotor carries a current of 10.5 mA. In this orientation, the magnetic moment of the rotor is directed opposite the magnetic field. The rotor then turns through one-half revolution. This process is repeated to cause the rotor to turn steadily at an angular speed of 3.54 103 rev/min.(a) Find the maximum torque acting on the rotor. N · m

(b) Find the peak power output of the motor. W

(c) Determine the amount of work performed by the magnetic field on the rotor in every full revolution. J

(d) What is the average power of the motor? W

Given Information:

Number of turns = N = 84

Area of Rectangular coil = 2.61x3.64 cm = 0.0261x0.0364 m

Magnetic field = B = 0.80 T

Current = I = 10.5 mA = 0.0105 A

Angular speed = ω = 3.54x10³ rev/min

Required Information:

(a) Maximum torque = τmax = ?

(b) Peak output power = Ppeak = ?

(c) Work done = W = ?

(d) Average power = Pavg?

(a) Maximum torque = 0.00067 N.m

(b) Peak output power = 0.248 W

(c) Work done = 0.00189 J

(d) Average power = 0.1115 W

Explanation:

(a) The toque τ acting on the rotor is given by,

τ = NIABsin(θ)

Where N is the number of turns, I is the current, A is the area of rectangular coil and B is the magnetic field

A = 0.0261x0.0364

A = 0.00095 m²

The maximum toque τ is achieved when θ = 90°

τmax = NIABsin(90°)

τmax = 84*0.0105*0.00095*0.80*1

τmax = 0.00067 N.m

(b) The peak output power of the motor is given by,

Pmax = τmax*ω

ω = 3.54x10³ x 2π/60

ω = 370.7 rad/sec

Pmax = 0.00067*370.7

Pmax = 0.248 W

(c) The amount of work done by the magnetic field on the rotor in every full revolution is given by

W = 2∫NIABωsin(ωt) dt

W = -2NIABcos(ωt)

Evaluating limits,

W = -2NIABcos(π) - (-2NIABcos(0))

W = 2NIAB + 2NIAB

W = 4NIAB

W = 4*84*0.0105*0.00067*0.80

W = 0.00189 J

(d) Average power of the motor is given by

Pavg = W/t

t = 2π/ω

t = 2π/370.7

t = 0.01694 sec

Pavg = W/t

Pavg = 0.00189/0.01694

Pavg = 0.1115 W
