Average emf induced in Square Loop

AI Thread Summary
A square loop with a side length of 0.45 m is subjected to a magnetic field that increases from 8 T to 14 T over 0.03 seconds, prompting a calculation of the average induced emf. The area of the loop remains constant, and the magnetic flux can be expressed as the product of the magnetic field strength and the area. The confusion arises from the use of different areas for initial and final calculations, which should remain the same. To find the average emf, the flux change must be derived with respect to time, considering the increasing magnetic field. Applying Faraday's law of induction is essential for solving the problem accurately.

Homework Statement



A square loop of side .45 m is placed in a region where there is a magnetic field of strength 8T directed perpendicularly out of the plane of the loop. If the magnetic field is increased to 14 T in .03 seconds, calculate the average emf induced in the loop

Homework Equations



Ai= w2=.452
Af=4*.452/3.141
Oi=BiAicos (0)=
Of=BfAfcos(0)
Eind= -(Of-Oi)/time


The Attempt at a Solution


I tried doing the above and it isn't coming up with an answer that is even close to the choices I can choose from. Please help

Ai is correct, but what are you doing with Af here? The area of the loop does not change in this problem.
Oi=BiAicos (0)=
Of=BfAfcos(0)
Eind= -(Of-Oi)/time

Your method looks correct, except for the confusion about Af. Try it with the same area area for Ai and Af, and show your full calculation if you need more help.
 
Think of Faraday's law of induction.

You're going to need to find a function for the magnetic flux and take the derivative with respect to time.

The flux isn't going to take any crazy calculus here, it almost boils down to just BA, but B is not a constant.

B= B0+ct where B0 is the original field strength, c, is the rate at which it's increasing and t is the time.

so flux is (B0+ct)A now see if you can derive and solve
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
