Progress meeting. This week, study more on electromagnetic induction. Find out how to know the strength of magnetic field.
23rd July 2019
Attended a short course on Floating Offshore Structures Design and Analysis by Dr. Henry Kang, the Head of Marine Technology Laboratory in the School of Mechanical Engineering, University Teknologi Malaysia. The short course consists of three modules:
- Introduction to Offshore Floating Structures
- Wave Loading on Offshore Floating Structures
- Floating Structure's Dynamics
Collected some data for the Anthropometric project during lunch break.

Studied on how to calculate the strength of magnetic field. If the magnetic field strength is known, the number of turns for the coil can be calculated. This is referring to the Faraday's Law Formula. Unfortunately, at the end of the day, the formula for magnetic strength cannot be found. What was found was the formula for magnetic field strength generated from current flowing through a coil which was wrapped around a ferromagnetic core.

Did some calculations using various values of magnetic strength to see how it affects the number of turns of coil. Using the Faraday's Law formula:
From this, it is proven that the higher the magnetic field strength, the lower the number of turns.
