Question:

A coil of 90 turns, of resistance 6 ohm and area 28 cm² moves from a
uniform magnetic field of 0.02 Tesla to one of 0.42 Tesla in 3.0 second.
What average current flows in the wire (in amp) ?

Relevant equations:

EMF= (Area * Rate of change of magnetic flux) * Number of turns

I = EMF/Resistance

Attempted Solution:

EMF= ((0.28^2) * ((0.42-0.02)/3)) * 90 turns = 3.36

I = EMF/Resistance = 3.36/6 = 0.56 amps (i believe this is correct)

however answer given is 0.0056 amps where am I missing this factor of 100?

28\;cm^2 \neq 0.28\;m^2
 
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
