8.A.0 Torque
A torque is defined as the turning moment of a force and its SI Unit is Newton metre (Nm).
The torque about a point is equal to the force times the distance measured perpendicular to the force.

8.A.1 Torque on a coil in a magnetic field
Fig 1
Fig 1 (a) is the field between two magnets, (b) the field due to a current in a straight wire and (c) the resulting field if they are put together. This last field is known as the "catapult" field because it tends to catapult the wire out of the field in the direction shown by the arrow.
Fig 2
Fig 2(a) show If a coil carrying a current is placed in a magnetic field it will experience a force on two of its sides in such a way as to make the coil rotate.
Fig 2(b) shows coil will rotate from the 'double catapult' field diagram. Since the current moves along the two opposite sides of the coil in opposite directions the two sides receive a force in opposite
directions also, thus turning the coil.

8.A.4 E.m.f. induced in a straight conductor in a uniform magnetic field
When a straight conductor is moved through a magnetic field an e.m.f. is induced between its ends. This
movement must be in such a direction that the conductor cuts through the lines of magnetic flux, and will be a maximum when it moves at right angles to the field (Fig 5).
Where, E = e.m.f. induced (V)
L = length (m)
B = magnetic field (Wb)
v = velocity (m/s)
Fig 5
If the conductor moves with velocity v at right angles to the field then the flux cut per second will be BvL (since the conductor will sweep out an area vL every second).
But the rate of cutting flux is equal to the e.m.f. induced in the conductor. Therefore
E = BLv

If the conductor cuts through the flux at an angle θ ( in Fig 5), where θ is the angle between the magnetic field and the direction of motion, the equation becomes
8.A.5 Solved work examples on Emf induced on a straight conductor
Work example 1 Calculate a) The e.m.f. generated between the wing tips of an aircraft that is flying horizontally at 200 ms -1 in a region where the vertical component of the Earth's magnetic field is 4.0x10-5 T, if the aircraft has a wingspan of 25 m.
b) What will be the e.m.f. if the θ = 30°.
Solution
a) Maximum e.m.f., E = BLvsinθ
= 4.0x10-5x25x200 sin 90°
E = 0.2V
b) When θ is 30°, E = BANIsinθ = 4.0x10-5x150x200 sin 30°

8.A.4 Emf induced in a straight conductor rotating in a uniform magnetic field
Consider the Fig 6, a diagram of an electrical generator. A generator with a single rectangular coil
rotated at constant angular velocity in a uniform magnetic field produces an e.m.f. that varies sinusoidally in time. Note the generator is similar to a motor, except the shaft is rotated to produce a
current rather than the other way around.
Where, E = e.m.f. induced (V)
L = length (m)
B = magnetic field (Wb)
v = velocity (m/s)
θ = angle (°)
ω = angular velocity (rad/s)
Fig 6
The induced e.m.f. by considering only the side wires.
Motional e.m.f. is given to be E = BLv, where the velocity v is perpendicular to the magnetic field B
Here, the velocity is at an angle θ with B, so that its component perpendicular to B is vsinθ.
Thus in this case the e.m.f. induced on each side is E = BLvsinθ, and they are in the same direction.
The total EMF ε around the loop is then: E = 2BLvsinθ
This expression is valid, but it does not give EMF as a function of time.

8.0A ROTATING MACHINES
To find the time dependence of EMF, we assume the coil rotates at a constant angular velocity ω.
The angle θ is related to angular velocity by θ = ωt, so that: E = 2Blvsinωt
Now, linear velocity v is related to angular velocity by v = rω.
Here r = w/2, so that v = (w/2)ω, and:
E = 2BLw2ωsinωt
E = (Lw)Bωsinωt
Noting that the area of the loop is A = Lw, and allowing for N loops, we find that:
The maximum value of the e.m.f (Emax) is when θ (= ωt) = 90o, is given by
E = NABω sinωt
E = NABω

8.A.5 Solved work examples on Emf induced in a rotating in a uniform magnetic field
Work example 1
Calculate a) The maximum value of the e.m.f generated in a coil with 200 turns and of area 10 cm2 rotating at 60 radians per second in a field of flux density 0.1 T.
b) The e.m.f. when θ = 60o
Solution
a) Maximum e.m.f., E = BANωsinθ = 0.1x10-5x200x60 sin 90°
E = 1.2V
b) When θ is 30°, E = BANωsinθ
= 0.1x10-5x200x60 sin 60°
E = 1.04V
Notice the use of radians per second.

8.A.6 Power generated in rotating machines
The linear motion of a conductor through a magnetic field, the mechanical power supplied is equal to
the electrical power generated.
8.1.7 Derivation of power in rotating machines
For a rotating object, the linear distance covered at the circumference of rotation is the product of the radius with the angle covered.
That is: Linear distance = radius × angular distance.
By definition, Linear distance = linear speed × time = radius × angular speed × time.
By the definition of torque:
Torque = radius × force.
These two values can be substituted into the definition of power:
Power = Force × Linear distance
Time
= (Torque Radius⁄ ) × (Radius × Angular speed)
Time
= Torque × Angular speed
or
Power = Torque × 2π × Rotational speed
Where, Torque, τ (N/m) Angular speed, ω (rad/s) Rotational speed, n (rev/s)
Radius, r (m)
