Study Notes
Voltage Induction in a Rotating Loop
- A voltage is induced in a wire loop when the rotor of a machine is rotated.
Magnetic Field and Rotor Surface
- The magnetic field is constant and perpendicular to the rotor surface everywhere under the pole faces.
- The magnetic field rapidly falls to zero beyond the edges of the poles.
Voltage in Each Segment of the Loop
- Segment ab:
- Velocity of the wire is tangential to the path of rotation.
- Magnetic field B points out perpendicular to the rotor surface.
- v × B points into the page, resulting in a positive voltage.
- e ba = (v × B)l, where v is velocity, B is magnetic field, and l is length.
- Segment bc:
- v × B is either into or out of the page, while length l is in the plane of the page.
- v × B is perpendicular to l, resulting in zero voltage.
- e cb = 0
- Segment cd:
- Velocity of the wire is tangential to the path of rotation.
- Magnetic field B points in perpendicular to the rotor surface.
- v × B points out of the page, resulting in a voltage.
- e dc = (v × B)l, where v is velocity, B is magnetic field, and l is length.
Total Voltage
- The total voltage etot is the sum of the voltages in each segment of the loop.
