Faraday's Law and magnetic field

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the induced electromotive force (emf) in a coil placed in a time-varying magnetic field described by B=(At + Bt^4). The coil has 550 turns and a radius of 3.90 cm, and it is connected to a 640 Ohm resistor. The participants clarify that the induced emf can be derived from the magnetic flux, which involves the area of the coil and the derivative of the magnetic field with respect to time. The correct expression for the induced emf incorporates the number of turns, the area of the coil, and the time derivatives of the magnetic field components. The importance of including the radius for calculating the area is emphasized in the calculations.

A coil containing N = 550 turns with radius r = 3.90 cm, is placed in a uniform magnetic field that varies with time according to B=(At + Bt^4), where A = 1.05 \cdot 10^−2 {\rm T}/{\rm s} and B = 3.00 \cdot 10^−5 {\rm T}/{\rm s}^{4}. The coil is connected to a resistor of resistance 640 Ohms, and its plane is perpendicular to the magnetic field. The resistance of the coil can be neglected.

Find the magnitude of the induced emf in the coil as a function of time. Write your answer as an expression in terms of the variables given in the problem.

I'm thinking that the derivative of magnetic flux can be written as the derivative of (BA). A is constant, so it's A multiplied by the derivative of B.

I get (A + 4Bt^3)(A).

The induced EMF is the negative of that multiplied by N.

I typed that in, but it wasn't right.

What did I not consider?

the derivative of the flux with respect to time is going to be

n(area) (d B/dt)

or n*pi*r^2(A+4Bt^3)

I usually neglect the negative sign unless the problem allows you to define coordinates properly.
 
I see I did not use the radius for the area.

Thank you.
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
