Click For Summary
Using a calculator during the physics exam is a common concern among students. The discussion revolves around applying the right-hand rule to determine the direction of forces in magnetic fields, with participants seeking clarification on how to visualize vector directions. Key points include the importance of aligning the thumb with velocity and fingers with the magnetic field to find the force direction. Additionally, confusion arises regarding the relationship between current, magnetic fields, and the resulting forces, emphasizing the need to understand these concepts thoroughly. Mastery of these principles is crucial for success in the exam.

All right i need a CLarifcation on this one

Question 21


The angle i pick should be what to the field line? i wanted to do 90-22.5 but that won't work. Thanks alot

Rotate through the small angle from the direction of v to the direction of B. It is just 22.5

Question 8
Flux is
Φ = BAcosθ where θ is the angle between the loop normal and B. θ = 30 degrees

The only thing changing is B, so

dΦ/dt = (Acosθ)dB/dt

What exam are you taking? Could I bring all my reference materials with me? I still remember how to do this stuff, but it sure is nice having the references readily available when you don't remember the exact formulas, values of constants, etc.
