A coil moves into a magnetic field

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the intensity of a magnetic field when a coil with 1850 loops and a resistance of 45.0Ω is inserted into a magnetic field. The area of each loop is 4.70 x 10-4 m2, and the induced charge flowing into the circuit is 8.87 x 10-3 C. Participants suggest using Faraday's law to relate the induced voltage to the magnetic field and the area of the coil, emphasizing the need to determine the current using Ohm's law.

Homework Statement


A coil, made up of 1850 loops, is inserted in an electric circuit and has a resistance of 45,0Ω. The area of each loop is 4,70⋅10^(-4) m^(2). The coil moves from a region where there's no magnetic field, to a region where the magnetic field is present. The normal to the coil stays parallel to the magnetic field. The induced charge that flows into the circuit is 8,87⋅10^(-3) C. Find the intensity of the magnetic field.

Number of loops: 1850
Resistance: 45,0Ω
Area of a loop: 4,70⋅10^(-4) m^(2)
Induced charge: 8,87⋅10^(-3) C


2. Homework Equations

magnetic field in the centre of a coil B= N⋅μ⋅i / (2⋅R)
Faraday-Neumann law ΔV = - Δφ/ Δt



The Attempt at a Solution


I thought about finding the intensity of the magnetic field by using the Faraday-Neumann law, since the flux of a magnetic field is equal to φ= B⋅A, and the problem gives us the area of a loop. Then, in fact, I would try to find ΔV and Δt so that I could get B, but I don't know how to proceed to find neither of them. I thought about using the first Ohm law to find ΔV, since the problem gives us the resistance of the coil, but it doesn't give us the current. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you!

Hello. Welcome to PF!

You are on the right track with Faraday's law and Ohm's law. (The formula for the field at the center of a coil is not relevant here.) Can you write out Faraday's law explicitly in terms of the number of turns, the field, the area, and the time interval?

As a suggestion, you might think about the relation between the current and the total charge that flows.
