Solving for Magnetic Field Strength given Induced voltage in a coil

AI Thread Summary
To solve for the magnetic field strength given the induced voltage in a coil, Faraday's Law is applied, where the induced electromotive force (emf) is related to the rate of change of magnetic flux. The setup involves a coil placed in a Helmholtz pair with a 20V AC supply at 60Hz, and the induced voltages are recorded using an oscilloscope. The derived equation for magnetic field strength is B = emf/(2*pi*r^2*f), where r is the radius of the coil and f is the frequency. The approach involves integrating the relationship between emf and the changing magnetic field. Clarification is sought on the correctness of this method for calculating the magnetic field strength.

Homework Statement



This is part of a lab I did, I am working on the writeup now. We placed a coil of wire inside of a Helmholtz pair, with 20V of 60Hz AC through the Helmholtz pair. The coil inside was connected to an oscilloscope and the induced voltages were recorded. I now need to solve for the strength of the magnetic field as the coil was moved along the axis of the Helmholtz pair.


Homework Equations


Period = 1/frequency T=1/f
Faraday's Law emf = -d/dt (magnetic flux)

The Attempt at a Solution



Faraday's Law: emf = dB/dt * 2*pi*N*r^2 (area is constant, N is number of loops, B is changing)
dB = emf/(2*pi*r^2) *dt
integrate both sides
B = emf/(2*pi*r^2*f) (f is frequency of current through the Helmholtz pair)

Is this correct? Can I do this?

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of the question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
