Example34 Electromotive Force of NFC Coil
General
-
An NFC coil is placed in AC magnetic field.
The electromotive force is generated by the current induced in the coil.
-
Integral path is required to be set in the electric circuit.
-
The electromotive force, the magnetic field vectors and the magnetic flux density are solved.
-
Unless specified in the list below, the default conditions will be applied.

The frequency is set to 13.56[Hz] on the harmonic analysis tab.
The external magnetic field is directing the positive Z direction.
Thus, the external magnetic field is set to be AC with the frequency of 13.56[Hz].

Model
An NFC coil (Coil) is defined.
The coil size is 72[mm] x 42[mm].
Coil is terminated with a body R having sufficient resistance to measure the electromotive force.
If the boundary condition of integral path is set along the current path, the electromotive force can be calculated by integrating the electric field (current density*resistance) on the integral path.
Basically, the body R is not needed when setting the integral path along the current path of the loop coil. However, the current density is not constant at the section of the coil and calculation cannot be done accurately.
By adding the body R having resistance high enough,
the electric potential difference is mostly generated at the body R, and the current density at the section of the body R is almost constant. So the calculation will be accurate.

It is assumed that the induced current flows in Coil in this exercise.
Therefore no settings are required for the Current tab of the body attribute and I/O port boundary condition.

Results
To see the electromotive force, go to the [Results] tab
click [Table] 
.
The absolute value is the amplitude of the electromotive force.
About 0.335[V] is generated.
It is pretty close to the theoretical value: V=jωSB=j*2*π*13.56*10^6*0.072*0.042*1*μ0=j0.324[V].
The vectors of current density are shown below.
The magnetic field sectioned at YZ plane is shown below.
The magnetic field is created as set in the direction tab.
