AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving multiple-choice questions related to electromagnetic concepts, specifically magnetic flux and induced current. For the first question, the correct answer is clarified as A, indicating that the induced current will flow counterclockwise when applying the right-hand rule. The second question also emphasizes Lenz's law, explaining that the induced current must generate a magnetic field that increases the flux through the loop as it falls. The participant's reasoning about the right-hand rule and the relationship between voltage and current in inductors is discussed, leading to the conclusion that understanding these principles is crucial for answering such questions correctly. Overall, the thread highlights the importance of applying electromagnetic laws to determine the correct answers.

Ok i am studing and the book doesn't give answers. Here are a few questions i gave. What do you think.

I will list pictures and test.

For pic/question 1 - Will the answer be
d - roatating the loop 90 degree ?

Would it make sense that since the magnetic field is going into the paper i would want the resistor (R) to be perpendicular to the Mag field ?

question 2

My answer would be
d- induced magnetic field clockwise.

Reasoning- using the right hand rule with the thumb (V) pointing down, my fingers would rotate around clockwise. :confused:

Questions 3 (last one for tonight - tried)

I would say that the answer is
C- the element is an inductor

Since the voltage leads and the current lags behind makes me choice this one.

Q1. Current will be induced in the loop if the magnetic flux throught the loop is changed. Flux incorporates both the strength of the magnetic field and the area that the field goes through.

a) will cause a decrease in the amount of flux through the loop, since the area of the loop is reduced the amount of flux going throught the loop changes - which will induce an current throught the loop (any change in flux will induce a current, no matter if it decreases or increases)

b) will decrease the flux through the loop since the magnetic field is decreased - again a change in flux

c) will cause an increase in flux through the loop

d) will present less area to the magnetic field to go through as it is rotated, so a flux decrease will result, which will induce a current throught it

So all of the changes will induce a current in the loop.

The answer is A. Use the right hand rule, with the magnetic field going perpendicular to the wire, out from the magnet (out from the centre of the circle), and you use the force opposing motion. When you do this, you will get the induced current going counter clockwise around the ring from the viewer's perspective.
 
Q2 This is an application of Lenz's law. The flux through the ring decreases as it falls downwards. The induced current should therefore be such that the magnetic field that it generates will cause the flux throught the ring to increase.
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
