Faraday's Law and magnetic flux

Click For 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.

If have close pipe system with water inside pressurized at P1= 200 000Pa absolute, density 1000kg/m3, wider pipe diameter=2cm, contraction pipe diameter=1.49cm, that is contraction area ratio A1/A2=1.8 a) If water is stationary(pump OFF) and if I drill a hole anywhere at pipe, water will leak out, because pressure(200kPa) inside is higher than atmospheric pressure (101 325Pa). b)If I turn on pump and water start flowing with with v1=10m/s in A1 wider section, from Bernoulli equation I...
