Maximum current through resistor in a coil of wire with two resistors in parallel

AI Thread Summary
To determine the maximum current through the 200 Ω resistor in a coil with 600 turns and a diameter of 5.5 cm, one must first calculate the induced voltage using Faraday's Law of Induction, given the magnetic field decreases from 2.2 T to 0 T in 6.2 ms. The total resistance of the parallel resistors (120 Ω and 200 Ω) must be calculated to find the equivalent resistance. Once the voltage is known, Ohm's Law (I = V/R) can be applied to find the current specifically through the 200 Ω resistor. Understanding the relationship between the changing magnetic field and induced voltage is crucial for solving this problem. The maximum current can then be accurately determined from these calculations.

Homework Statement



A coil of wire has 600 turns and is 5.5 cm in diameter is in a magnetic field that decreases from 2.2 T to 0 T in 6.2 ms. The axis of the coil is parallel to the field. The coil is hooked up to two resistors of 120 Ω and 200 Ω connected in parallel. What is the maximum current through the 200 Ω resistor?

Homework Equations



B=uoNI/l
I=V/R
R= (1/R1+1/R2)-1
?

The Attempt at a Solution



I know I need to find voltage and then find current of just the 200 ohm resistor

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this 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...
