Based on your impressive work in Lakeview, the engineers at Orange Tech Company (OTC) have recruited you to help them with a product design. They would like to create an induction charger platform that will work with three products: mePhone, meWatch, and the meToothbrush. The engineers at OTC have a basic set up for the charger platform (shown below), which will plug into a wall outlet with an alternating current of 60 Hz and a peak current of 1.5 A. Inside the charger platform is a coil with 1250 turns and a 7.5 cm radius.

They need your help designing the receiver coils in each of their products (mePhone, meWatch, and the meToothbrush). To be able to charge, all the products need an alternating induced voltage. For the mePhone, it requires a peak voltage of 4.7 V. The meWatch requires a peak voltage of 0.88 V. The meToothbrush requires a peak voltage of 3.2 V.

The OTC engineers have asked you to create a report that outlines your design for each of the receiver coils (size, shape, etc.), how the induction charger will work, and graphs of the current in the charging platform and the induced voltage in the receiver coils. Remember, a good solution includes explanations, diagrams, evaluations, and commentary in addition to your calculations. See the Project Write Up Rubric for more details.

Learning Goals

  • Explain how a current in one coil would induce a current in a second coil.
  • Use graphs to show both the induced current and charging current
  • Calculate an induced voltage from a changing magnetic flux
