Homework Statement



A long solenoid of radius a , is driven by an alternating current , so that the field inside is sinusoidal: B(t)=B0cos(omega*t)z-hat. A circular loop of wire, of raduis a/2 and resistance R, is placed inside the solenoid and coaxial with it. Find the current induced in the loop , as a function of time.

Homework Equations



I=\epsilon/R
\Phi=\intB\cdot da

\epsilon=\intE\cdotdl=\int(dB/dt)\cdotda

The Attempt at a Solution



dB/dt=-omega*B0sin(omega*t)z-hat
\epsilon=\intomega*B0sin(omega*t) da, since the area of a circle is pi*r2, da is just pi*r2

I=omega*B0*sin(omega*t)*\pia2/(R)

episilon is supposed to be the electromotive force BTW.

Excuse me, but I think among 'da=pi*r^2', r should be a/2

What about my remaining solutions?
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
