    Find the maximum induced emf in the large coil solenoid

    Homework Statement Given: u_0 = 1.25664e-6 A 2 m long large coil with a radius of 14.6 cm and 320 turns surrounds a 4.2 m long solenoid with a radius of 4.6 cm and 7700 turns. The current in the solenoid changes as I = I_0 sin (2pi*f*t) where I_0= 30 A and f=60 Hz.Inside solenoid has...

    How Far Does a Proton Travel Above a Current-Carrying Wire?

    I don't know whether to laugh or cry.. Turns out I did do the problem right except my rounding was a little bit off. I tried submiting 2.6002 cm and the darn system considered that answer right. Thank you SO much for your help.

    How Far Does a Proton Travel Above a Current-Carrying Wire?

    Yep, the problem says that the answer has to be in cm units. Let me recheck my units... (1.67e-27 kg) (9.81 m/s^2) = (1.602e-19 C)(12200 m/s) * (B) B = 8.38e-12 Tesla 8.38 e-12 Tesla = [(4pi e-7)*(1.09e-6 A)] / [2pi * r] Hmm...everything looks like they are in the right units...

    How Far Does a Proton Travel Above a Current-Carrying Wire?

    Unfortunately that's not the problem. The online homework automatically accepts as many sig figs as you can give it. I don't know why this is wrong though. I was sure I had it. -stressed------

    How Far Does a Proton Travel Above a Current-Carrying Wire?

    No I tried submitting 2.5667 as the answer and it's still wrong. I think I might have gotten the formula wrong?
