Faraday's Law and magnetic flux

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on whether an induced current will occur in a circular coil when a magnetic field changes, given that the magnetic field does not pass through the coil. One participant argues that no induced current will result because the magnetic field is not intersecting the coil. Another perspective suggests that if the magnetic field is oriented along the axis of the coil, a potential could still be generated, similar to isolation transformers. The conversation highlights the importance of the magnetic field's orientation and the coil's configuration in determining the presence of induced current. Ultimately, the conclusion is that the relationship between the coil and the magnetic field is crucial for understanding induced current.

Homework Statement
If there is a circular coil of radius r0 and a circular region of magnetic field of radius r1. Given that them have the same center and r0>r1, if the magnetic field changed its magnetic field strength, will there still be a induced current?
Relevant Equations
E=delta Phi/delta t
I believe that there will not be a induced current because the magnetic field does not pass through the coil.

Can you make a nice drawing that shows how you came to the conclusion?

I believe that there will not be a induced current because the magnetic field does not pass through the coil.
Assuming that the field direction is along the axis of the coil (not defined in the question as stated here*), there will be a potential generated in the coil. This is exactly what happens in isolation transformers. The current depends on how the coil is connected.
*My assumption is that the coil and the field circle are coplanar, and the field is perpendicular to the disc of the circle.
However, you could read this as the field being along the circumference of the circle, in which case your original thoughts would apply.

I wonder where does the homework and you are looking at ? No charge, no current.

Thread 'Minimum mass of a block'
Here we know that if block B is going to move up or just be at the verge of moving up ##Mg \sin \theta ## will act downwards and maximum static friction will act downwards ## \mu Mg \cos \theta ## Now what im confused by is how will we know " how quickly" block B reaches its maximum static friction value without any numbers, the suggested solution says that when block A is at its maximum extension, then block B will start to move up but with a certain set of values couldn't block A reach...
TL;DR Summary: Find Electric field due to charges between 2 parallel infinite planes using Gauss law at any point Here's the diagram. We have a uniform p (rho) density of charges between 2 infinite planes in the cartesian coordinates system. I used a cube of thickness a that spans from z=-a/2 to z=a/2 as a Gaussian surface, each side of the cube has area A. I know that the field depends only on z since there is translational invariance in x and y directions because the planes are...
