EMI - current direction in loop

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the concept of current flow in a closed loop, specifically addressing the scenario where both i1 and i2 exhibit the same magnitude and direction. Participants clarify that despite initial confusion regarding the loop's closure, it is confirmed that the loop is indeed closed, allowing for current to flow. The resolution of the problem is attributed to the insights provided by user "tiny-tim," which helped clarify the misunderstanding.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electromagnetic induction principles
  • Familiarity with current flow in electrical circuits
  • Basic knowledge of circuit components and configurations
  • Ability to interpret and analyze circuit diagrams
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the principles of electromagnetic induction in detail
  • Learn about Kirchhoff's laws for circuit analysis
  • Explore the behavior of current in closed versus open circuits
  • Investigate the effects of circuit components on current flow
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for electrical engineering students, educators teaching circuit theory, and hobbyists interested in understanding current flow in electrical loops.

The Attempt at a Solution



I think that both i1 and i2 will have same mag and direction
and at same time the loop is not closed so will there be any current?

the loop is closed …

it's not a bent solid bar, it's only the outline of one :wink:

Oh YES ! :eek:

That solves the problem!
Thanks a lot tiny-tim :biggrin:
