A flashlight can be made that is powered by the induced current from a magnet moving through a coil of wire. The coil and magnet are inside a plastic tube that can be shaken causing the magnet to move back and forth through the coil. Assume the magnet has a maximum field strength of 0.05 T. Make reasonable assumptions and specify the size of the coil and the number of turns necessary to light a standard 1-watt, 3-V flashlight bulb.

- A flip coil is a relatively simple device used to measure a magnetic field, It consists of a circular coil of N turns wound with fine conducting wire. The coil is attached to a ballistic galvanometer, a device that measures the total charge that passes through it. The coil is placed in a magnetic field B such that its face is perpendicular to the field. It is then flipped through 180°, and tire total charge Q that flows through the galvanometer is measured. (a) If the total resistance of tire coil and galvanometer Is R, what is the relationship between B and Q? Because the coil is very small, you can assume that Bis uniform over it. (b) How can you determine whether or not tire magnetic field is perpendicular to the face of the coil?arrow_forwardDesign a current loop that, when rotated in a uniform magnetic field of strength 0.10 T, will produce an emf =0 sin t. where 0=110V and 0=110V .arrow_forwardThe flip coil of the preceding problem has a radius of 3.0 cm and is wound with 40 turns of copper wire.

A 15.0-cm horizontal wire of mass 15.0 g is placed between two thin, vertical conductors, and a uniform magnetic field acts perpendicular to the page. The wire is free to move vertically without friction on the two vertical conductors.
