    Calculating Magnetic Field and Induced EMF in a Concentric Loop System

    AH! who would have thought this would involve a completely rational explanation ;-) ha, thanks so much for all of your help - it's all making damn near perfect sense now!

    Calculating Magnetic Field and Induced EMF in a Concentric Loop System

    if I'm not mistaken, i believe the change in magnetic flux will induce a current to run through the wire of the smaller loop of EMF = -dFlux/dt. my only snag at this point is that the magnetic field at t=.5 sec, since the sign of the current is only to distinguish direction, the 165A would be...

    Calculating Magnetic Field and Induced EMF in a Concentric Loop System

    So i figured the flux of the smaller loop (flux = BA) would just be the Magentic Field due to the current from the larger loop * the given area of the small loop. and would change as B changes due to the current changing. Is this the right way to look at it, or am I still on the wrong track...

    Calculating Magnetic Field and Induced EMF in a Concentric Loop System

    I have no idea, i feel like that's what I need to know to start the problem. all i can think is that the magnitude at the center initially is B=(4*pi*e-7 Tm/A)(165 A)/ 2*.01m since the two circles share a common center and there is no initial current running through the smaller loop...I feel...

    Calculating Magnetic Field and Induced EMF in a Concentric Loop System

    Homework Statement A small circular loop of area 2.00 cm^2 is placed in the plane of, and concentric with, a large circular loop of radius 1.00 m. The current in the large loop is changed at a constant rate from 165 A to -165 A (a change in direction) in 1 s, beginning at t = 0. What is the...

    Potential Difference with Series and Parallel Resistors

    Hi! so R1 and R2 are parallel...their equivalent is then in series with R3. At the same time, R4 and R5 are in series. ===R1=| |...|==R3==| ===R2=|....| |......|===| |===R4===R5==|...| |===+\EMF\-=======| sorry that's the best i can do :-(

    Potential Difference with Series and Parallel Resistors

    awesome so the circuit isn't showing up...BUT...take my word for it that the R's I said were parallel/series actually are...I'm pretty confident that part is absolutely correct

    Potential Difference with Series and Parallel Resistors

    Homework Statement In Figure 27-72, an ideal battery with an emf of = 14.0 V is connected to a network of resistances with R1 = 7.00 , R2 = 12.0 , R3 = 4.00 , R4 = 1.00 and R5 = 6.00 . What is the potential difference across R5? FIGURE: |----**R1**---| |...

    Electron and Uniformly Charged Disk

    Homework Statement An electron (e) is to be released from rest on the central axis of a uniformly charged disk of radius R. The surface charge density on the disk is +3.50 µC/m2. (a) What is the magnitude of the electron's initial acceleration if it is released at a...
