AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around two problems related to magnetic fields and induction. The first problem involves calculating the inductivity of a wire loop with a current of 15 A and a magnetic flux of 3 Wb, where the original poster initially struggles due to the lack of a suitable formula. The second problem concerns finding the induced voltage in a coil with a current of 20 A and a magnetic flux of 10 Wb, with a current decrease of 1.2 A per second; the poster notes missing variables like the coil's length. Ultimately, the poster realizes that the number of turns in the coil was provided, which aids in solving the second problem. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding the relationships between current, magnetic flux, and inductance in these scenarios.

hi

I recently started learning about magnetic fields and magnetic induction.
I tried to solve the following two problems, but I got stuck. Could you please help?


1)
Current of 15 A is running through the wire loop and magnetic flux throught the wire loop is 3 Wb. What is inductivity L of a wire-loop? Here we obviously can't use formula for inductivity of a coil, so ... I don't know how to go at it.

I = 15 A
FL[ux] ... 3 Wb




2)

Current of 20 A creates inside a coil a magnetic flux of 10 Wb. What is the induced voltage U of a coil, if current decreases by 1.2 A each second? I tried to solve it but clearly there are some variables missing - like length of a coil or area of a wire-loop.

I = 20 A
FL[ux] = 10 Wb
dI = 1.2 A
dt = 1 s

U = ?

Like I said, length of a wire is missing for this to be solvable.



cheers

Why can't you use the formula for the inductance of a coil?

Note that Li = N\phi_{B}

Uh, I got it now.

I got it now. I didn't notice that problem already stated how many turns coil has.thank you

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...
