Electric Force on a Charge in a Solenoid

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on understanding the electric force on a charge within a solenoid, particularly in relation to the induced electric field due to a changing magnetic flux. Participants clarify that the direction of the induced EMF is crucial, as it relates to the right-hand rule and the concept of Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. The key point is that the electric field experienced by the charge is induced by the changing magnetic field, and when the charge is stationary, the velocity term becomes zero. The conversation emphasizes the importance of recognizing the time-dependent nature of the magnetic field in determining the direction of the force on the charge. Overall, the interaction between the electric field and the magnetic field is central to understanding the problem.

Since i only know the field direction, increasing go into page. Why the answer is C?

[ATTACH=full]226152[/ATTACH]
Why the answer "a" ?

The R and r on the pic is respected to what?

Right hand rule : finger tip = current
Thumbs = force
Palm = B

Or
Finger tip = velocity
Thumbs = current
Palm = B

The key word here in the statement of the problem is "increasing" and they should say "increasing with time". The question involves the Faraday EMF that occurs. The changing magnetic flux creates an EMF. They basically are asking the direction of the induced ## E ## of the EMF.

That is correct. The EMF is the integral of an induced electric field along the path. The electric field ## \vec{E}=\vec{E}_{induced} ## is what the positive charge responds to, and experiences a force ## \vec{F}=q(\vec{E}+\vec{v} \times \vec{B}) ##. ## \\ ## (And of course, when they say "placed at point b", etc. that means ## \vec{v}=0 ## so that ## \vec{v} \times \vec{B}=0 ## ).

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...
