AI Thread Summary
The charge flown through a wire loop can be calculated using the change in magnetic flux divided by the loop's resistance, while neglecting self-induction. When self-inductance is considered, the relationship involves the self-inductance of the loop and the external magnetic field's flux. The discussion highlights a discrepancy in results when applying these principles to a practical problem, prompting a request for verification. The principle of superposition is suggested to treat each flux change as a separate effect. Further details about the experimental setup are requested for clarity.

we can calculate the charge flown through a wire loop by the formula change in magnetic flux divdided by the resistance of the loop in deriving this case we have neglected the self induction of the loop as
df/dt =iR
df/dt = dq/dt R
df =dq R

but if we take into consideration the self inductance of the loop then the process goes as follows
we know that
flux due to current in circuit(f1) =L i
where L is the self inductance of the loop

we can then say
df1/dt = Ldi/dt
now writing the equation of the ptentials of the loop

if f2 is the flux due to the external fieldthen
df2/dt-Ldi/dt=iR
df2/dt-df1/dt= dq/dt R
df2-df1=dqR
thus we conclude that change in flux due to external field - change in flux due to current in loop=charge flown divided by resistance
but when i tried to verify this using a simple problem
my answer didnt agree with the result derived
please verify it

I would like to believe that the principle of superposition applies here so you can treat each flux change as a separate effect. I need to know more about how you did the experiment. Do you have your own lab?
 
It may be shown from the equations of electromagnetism, by James Clerk Maxwell in the 1860’s, that the speed of light in the vacuum of free space is related to electric permittivity (ϵ) and magnetic permeability (μ) by the equation: c=1/√( μ ϵ ) . This value is a constant for the vacuum of free space and is independent of the motion of the observer. It was this fact, in part, that led Albert Einstein to Special Relativity.
