Homework Statement
A solenoid as viewed from the left has a current carrying wire wrapping around it counter clockwise. The current travels from left to right. The current varies as:
I=I_0sin(wt)
According to Faraday's law, this will result in electric field. From symmetry, the electric field on a concentric circle is constant, and the electric field lines are concentric. Apply Faraday's law on a concentric circle of radius r to find an expression for the electric field at a perpendicular distance r from the solenoid.
Homework Equations
I believe I am supposed to be using Faraday's Law:
Integral of E.dS = -d/dt(Magnetic flux)
(Sorry, still trying to figure out how to use latex.)
The Attempt at a Solution
Well, we just finished doing Lenz's Rule, and I was good up until he brought electric field into it. Do I have to replace E in terms of I? I guess I just really don't get it, and I can't find it anywhere in his online notes or on the web. Help!
