    Current Flux
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the magnetic flux through a square circuit placed near an infinite wire carrying a current I. To find the magnetic flux, the magnetic field B(x,y) inside the circuit must be calculated using Ampere's law, followed by the integration of B over the area of the circuit. If the current in the wire changes at a constant rate, the electromotive force (emf) in the loop can be determined using the formula emf = dψ/dt, where ψ is the magnetic flux. The current in the circuit can then be calculated using Ohm's law if the resistance of the loop is known. Understanding these relationships is crucial for analyzing circuits with changing currents.

Consider a straight infinite wire that carries a current I. Suppose you place a square circuit near the wire such that the circuit and the wire lie on the same plane. The length of the sides of the circuit is l`. The nearest side of the rectangle is at a distance d from the wire.
question is that; What is the magnetic flux that goes through the circuit?
and If the current in the infinite wire is changing constantly, i.e dI/ dt = c = constant, what is the current running in the circuit?
any idea? thanks your attention..

Calculate B(x,y) inside the square circuit, using Amperes law.

Find the flux: ψ = ∫square B(x,y) ⋅ dA

You cannot find the current but the emf in the loop:

emf = dψ/dt

But if you know the resistance in the loop, you can find the current, using Ohms law.

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...
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
