A simple generator has a square armature on a side. The armature has turns of diameter copper wire and rotates in a magnetic field. The generator is used to power a lightbulb rated at and . At what rate should the generator rotate to provide to the bulb? Consider the resistance of the wire on the armature.
Solution
Verified
We are given a generator of a square armature rotating in a magnetic field to power a light bulb,
-
: is the length of the square armature of the generator.
-
: is the number of loops of the generator coil.
-
: is the diameter of the copper wire of the generator coil.
-
: is the magnetic field in which the generator rotates.
-
: is the voltage needed to turn on the light bulb.
-
: is the power rated for the light bulb.
We are required to evaluate the angular frequency by which the generator should rotate to turn on the light bulb.
