Average emf induced in Square Loop

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the average electromotive force (emf) induced in a square loop with a side length of 0.45 m, subjected to a magnetic field that increases from 8 T to 14 T over 0.03 seconds. The relevant equations include Faraday's law of induction, specifically the formula for induced emf: Eind = -(Of - Oi) / time. Participants clarify that the area of the loop remains constant, and suggest using the magnetic flux function B = B0 + ct, where B0 is the initial magnetic field strength, c is the rate of increase, and t is time, to derive the solution.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Faraday's law of induction
  • Knowledge of magnetic flux and its calculation
  • Familiarity with basic calculus for differentiation

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
