Electromagnetic induction graph of E versus I

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on understanding the relationship between electromotive force (E) and current (I) in the context of electromagnetic induction. It clarifies that the equation E = -L dI/dt is not applicable as stated, since I refers to the current in a larger coil rather than a smaller one. Participants emphasize that the current can be varied, suggesting that dI/dt can be considered zero for the analysis. The conversation hints at the need to identify what parameters are being adjusted in the experiment. Ultimately, the focus is on clarifying the correct application of the principles of electromagnetic induction to solve the problem.

Your "I only know" expression does not apply. I is in the big coil, not in the little rectangular one.

"Carrying a variable I" here means they are able to set the current to a number of values. (*) You may assume dI/dt = 0.

(*) So what do they vary in this way ? Aha!
 
The book claims the answer is that all the magnitudes are the same because "the gravitational force on the penguin is the same". I'm having trouble understanding this. I thought the buoyant force was equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. Weight depends on mass which depends on density. Therefore, due to the differing densities the buoyant force will be different in each case? Is this incorrect?
