Faraday's law and Magnetic Fields

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the application of Faraday's law in calculating magnetic fields, specifically addressing the dimensional accuracy of the formula presented. Participants noted that the right-hand side of the equation lacked the correct dimensions for magnetic fields and emphasized the importance of numerical factors. Additionally, it was confirmed that for x = 0, the formula should yield the magnetic field at the center of a circular current loop. A correction was made regarding the vector form of the expression, clarifying the absence of the i hat.

Homework Statement
A very large loop of metal wire with radius 1 meter is driven with a linearly increasing current at a rate of 200 amps/second . A very small metal wire loop with radius 5 cm is positioned a small distance away with its center on the same axis (the loops are coaxial). The small loop experiences an induced emf of 983nV . What is the separation of the loops in meters?
Relevant Equations
$$
\varepsilon=\oint \overrightarrow{\mathbf{E}} \cdot d \overrightarrow{\mathbf{l}}=-\frac{d \Phi_{\mathrm{m}}}{d t} .
$$
${\mathbf{B}}=\frac{\mu_0 I \hat{\mathbf{j}}}{2 \pi\left(y^2+R^2\right)^{3 / 2}}$

I am not really sure which direction i am moving in with this solution

Check this formula. Note that that the right-hand side does not have the correct dimensions for magnetic field. Also, check the numerical factors in the equation. For ##x = 0## the formula should reduce to the field at the center of a circular current loop.

Otherwise, your approach looks correct.

Oh, thanks a lot, it was a vector form, but without the i hat. Correct expression was this one.

Ok. You should get a reasonable answer now.
