Balancing area of a loop and magnetic field through it

AI Thread Summary
It is possible to change both the area of a loop and the magnetic field passing through it without inducing an emf, provided the changes maintain a constant magnetic flux. The equation for magnetic flux, Φ = BA, demonstrates that if the magnetic field strength is halved while the area is doubled, the overall magnetic flux remains unchanged. This means that although the individual components change, the net effect on the induced emf can be zero if the changes occur simultaneously. Therefore, even with alterations to both parameters, the induced emf remains constant, resulting in no net change. The discussion confirms that the induced emf can be zero under specific conditions of simultaneous change in area and magnetic field.

Question: Is it possible to change both the area of the loop and the magnetic field passing through the loop and still not have an induced emf in the loop?
Equation: change in Magnetic flux= area * magnetic flux density
My attempt: If the magnitude of magnetic field is changing, then by either increasing or decreasing the area of the loop, the change in magnetic flux associated with the loop can be kept constant. Then the induced emf will be zero.
Can you somehow prove this through the equation, numbers? Would appreciate the help.

Φ=BA


Say initially you have Φ0=B0A0. Then decrease B0 by 1/2 (so B1=1/2B0) and you increase the area by a factor of 2 (A1=2A0)

Φ1=B1A1 =(1/2 B0 *2A0)=B0A00

if the changes occur in the same time interval,t, then E0=E1

Once there is a change in magnetic flux, there will be an emf induced. So as much as I can say, even if you decrease one and increase the other and emf is still being induced, it just has the same value as before. So the net emf induced would be zero.
 
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...
