Faraday's Induced Emf: Help & Solutions Needed

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a request for assistance with three physics problems related to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. The user seeks clarification on the area calculations for the loops in the problems and why their initial answer of .503 was incorrect. Key points include the correct understanding of the area of a circular loop, which is calculated using the formula πr², and the distinction between a loop and a coil. After receiving guidance, the user successfully resolves the problems. The thread highlights the importance of understanding the concepts of induced emf and area in electromagnetic applications.

I'm reposting this because my homework is due in an hour and I still have not received help on how to solve this. I understand now that the the loop is equal to one. But could someone be generous enough to explain to me what the area is on problem 2 and 3 and why .503 is wrong for question 1?

I'm having a lot of trouble with the following questions. I was wondering if someone could steer me in the right direction and tell me what I'm doing wrong.


1. [GianPSE3 29.P.002.] A 20 cm diameter circular loop of wire lies in a plane perpendicular to a 0.80 T magnetic field. It is removed from the field in 0.10 s. What is the average induced emf?

2. [GianPSE3 29.P.005.] A 8.0 cm diameter loop of wire is initially oriented perpendicular to a 1.2 T magnetic field. It is rotated so that its plane is parallel to the field direction in 0.40 s. What is the average induced emf in the loop?

3. [GianPSE3 29.P.006.] A 7.6 cm diameter wire coil is initially oriented so that its plane is perpendicular to a magnetic field of 0.63 T pointing up. During the course of 0.12 s, the field is changed to one of 0.25T pointing down. What is the average induced emf in the coil?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!

Physics news on Phys.org
the radius is .2m, not .10
.10 is what you wrote for seconds.
the area of a circle is ╥r^2

a loop would be one turn
a coil would be multiple turns

Thanks! Stupid me haha! Got them all right now! Thanks!
 
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...
