Electromagnetic induction problem

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the current flowing through circuit ABCD when its center is at a distance r from a straight wire. Relevant equations include the magnetic field B, the electromotive force E, and the relationship between B and the distance r. The user struggles with the variable dS and seeks clarification on how to express it in terms of time. Another participant points out that while the area S remains constant, the magnetic field B changes over time, which is crucial for solving the problem. Understanding these relationships is essential for determining the current in the circuit.

How much curret flows trough circuit ABCD when the center of the circuit (O) is distance r from the straight wire? I think these are the relevant equations:
∅=B.dS
E=-d∅ /dt
B= μoI/2∏r

But i have trouble with dS. i know that is has to be rewritten like e.g. ds= ydx=yvdt and that way eliminate dt
but in this case i don't know how to do it.

Thanks

Well, obviously v is associated with dψ/dt where ψ = ∫BdS (apperently you are using S for area.) (Sorry, the symbol table does not have a Greek letter for "phi", can't imagine how that fell thru the cracks).

You have the right formula for B(r), you know v = dr/dt, right? So how does ∫BdS change with time? S doesn't change with time, it's just the area of the square ... so it must be B that is changing ...
