1. Calculate the average voltage induced in a coil of 300 turns through which the
flux changes from 250,000 to 20,000 maxwells in 0.15 seconds.

SOLUTION:

= N ( ) 108 volts
250,00020,000
= 300 ( ) 108 volts
0.15

E = 4.6 volts

2. How many turns of wire are there in a coil in which 35.7 volts are induced when
the flux through it increases uniformly at the rate of 3 106 maxwells per
second?

SOLUTION:

= N ( ) 108 volts

N=
( ) 108

35.7 volts
=
3 x 106 108

N = 1190 turns of wire

3. A voltage wave has the equation e = 170sin . Calculate the instantaneous

values of voltage for the following angles: 30, 60, 75, 105, 135, 180, 270,
and 330.
SOLUTION:
e = 170sin 30 e = 170sin 60 e = 170sin 75 e = 170sin 105
e = 85 V e = 147.22 V e = 164.21 V e = 164.21 V

e = 170sin 135 e = 170sin 180 e = 170sin 270 e = 170sin 330

e = 120.21 V e=0 e = -170 V e = -85 V

4. An alternator has 8 poles. (a) At what speed must it be driven to develop 60

cycles? 25 cycles? 50 cycles? 40 cycles? (b) What frequency will be developed if
the speed is 825 rpm? 1,350 rpm? 1,800 rpm? 450 rpm?

SOLUTION:

A. f = 120
12060
60 cycles = = 900 rpm
8
12025
25 cycles = = 375 rpm
8
12050
50 cycles = = 750 rpm

5. A 117-volt 60-cycle source is connected to a series circuit consisting of three

resistors. If the ohmic values of the latter are 20, 30, 40 ohms, respectively,
calculate the current through the circuit and the voltage drop across each
resistor.
SOLUTION:
117
I= = 1.3 amperes
20+30+40

E20 = 20 x 1.3 = 26 Volts

E30 = 30 x 1.3 = 39 Volts
E40 = 40 x 1.3 = 52 Volts

6. Three incandescent lamps (resistors) are connected in parallel, and to a 115-volt

60-cycle source. If the lamp ratings are 75, 100, 150 watts, calculate the rms
value of the resultant current.

SOLUTION:
I75 = 75/115 = 0.65 amp
I100 = 100/115 = 0.87 amp
I150 = 150/115 = 1.30
Itotal = 2.82 amperes
