1. (10 points) In a science project, you plan to apply the knowledge of PHYS 212 to construct a generator and transformer to power your laptop. Suppose you will make use of the Earth’s magnetic field. Assume it has a strength of 0.040 T at your location. Your generator design calls for a coil of 5000 windings rotated at exactly 120 Hz. The coil is oriented so that the normal to the area lines up with the Earth’s field at the end of each cycle. (a) Find out the coil diameter in order to generate a maximum voltage of 170 V (required in order to average 120 V). (4 points) (b) Design a transformer that allows you to use the "electricity" from your generator to power up your laptop. Your laptop requires a voltage of about 15 V. Specify clearly the turn ratio between primary and secondary coils. Draw a schematic plot of the windings. (6 points)

Alinearly polarized electromagnetic wave has an average intensity of 196 w/m^2. this wave is directed towards two ideal polarizers (in real polarizers, transmission is also effected by reflection and absorption). polarizer a is oriented with its transmission axis at an angle of θ_1=20.8∘ with the incident electric field. polarizer b has its axis at an angle of θ_2=63.0∘ with the incident electric field. what is the average intensity of the wave after it passes through polarizer a? what is the average intensity of the wave after it passes through polarizer b? suppose that the two polarizers a and b are interchanged. what would the average intensity be after passing through both polarizers?

Engineers find a new metal that is stronger than steel but much lighter. this material is also significantly cheaper than what is currently used for most aircraft, available in large quantities, and easy to manufacture. the engineers are excited because this new material will lower the costs of buying and operating airplanes for companies. what is probably the best step for the engineers to make next?
