INSTRUCTION:
You are required to perform a GROUP consist of MAXIMUM 5 MEMBERS PER GROUP. This
task brings 5% of the total mark for the course. Please show all of your calculations CLEARLY. Date
for report submission is on Monday, 2nd June 2014 (5.00 pm). Please do all of the calculations
using HAND-WRITING (Hardcopy).
Question: Answer all of the questions.
1) The transformer shown in the figure consists of a long wire coincident with the z-axis carrying
a current I=I0 cos wt, coupling magnetic energy to a toroidal coil situated in the xy plane and
centered at the origin. The toroidal core uses iron material with relative permeability r, around
which 100 turns of a tightly wound coil serves to induce a voltage Vemf, as shown in the figure
1.
(a) Develop an expression for Vemf.
(b) Calculate Vemf for f=60Hz, r=4000, a=5cm, b=6cm, c=2cm and Io=50A

Figure 1

2) The square loop shown in figure 2 is coplanar with a long, straight wire carrying a current
( )
( )
(a) Determine the emf induced across a small gap created in the loop.
(b) Determine the magnitude of the current that would flow through a 4-resistor connected across the
gap. The loop has an internal resistance of 1 .

3) A coil comprises 100 turns of wire wrapped around a square frame with each side measuring
25cm. If the coil is centered at the origin on plane z=0 such that its sides are parallel to the xand y-axes and is subject to
(a) B=20cos x cos 103t az Wb/m2
(b) B=20cos x sin2y cos 103t az Wb/m2
Calculate the induced emf on the coil.

4) A Design Engineer from OTOMOBILE Sdn Bhd is investigating on the induced voltage for 2
different car bumper having the same different length; 1.6m. Assume that the car travels at 120
km/hr with the earth of magnetic field is 4.3 x 10-5 Wb/m2 .Given that the angle between the
earths magnetic field and the normal to the is 65 (car A) and is 60(car B), compare the
reading of the induced voltage in these 2 car bumpers and evaluate which car has the worst
induced voltage?
