The final grade is based upon this score. In general, an A isassigned to averages in the 90’s, a B to 80’s, a C to 70’s, and a D to 60’s. Averages below 60receive an F and do not pass the course

(1)were known except , so the effective magnetic field could be solved as a function of the gap,and an equation could be fitted to the plotted vs. gap data to be used in subsequent designs.The resulting design called for nine coils of AWG24 wire, 0.75 x 0.75 x 0.125-inch rare-earthmagnets.The load for the generator was an automotive light bulb rated for 20 W. At a maximum designspeed of 1500 rpm ( 157 rad/s) the expected torque on the generator was /0.13 before adding any friction losses. An estimate of the overall torque and rotationalspeed needed to be coordinated between the teams so that the mechanical system would deliverthe necessary speed and torque to the generator shaft, and that the structure was designed
