    Current Induction
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the current produced in a second inductor due to mutual induction with a first inductor sharing the same iron core. It highlights the relationship between voltage changes and current, emphasizing that the current in the second inductor is influenced by the number of windings in each inductor. The principles of conservation of energy and Faraday's Law are mentioned as relevant to understanding these dynamics. The participants explore how to derive the current in the second inductor based on these factors. Overall, the conversation focuses on the complexities of mutual induction and its mathematical implications.

Homework Statement



Lets say that I have two inductors whihc share the same iron core and I run a current through the first inductor. I know how voltage changes under mutual induction, but how can I figure out the current produced through mutual induction?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
How about conservation of energy, or power in = power out?
 
So the current in the second inductor is the same as the current in the first inductor? Is there a way I can derive this?
 
yeah so that gives me voltage. I just divided by resistence right?
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

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...
