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
 
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 .
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...
