Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on applying Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction to determine the change in the magnetic field affecting a rectangular coil. The average induced electromotive force (emf) is related to the change in magnetic flux over time, with the formula linking emf to magnetic flux and the number of turns in the coil. Given the dimensions of the coil, the area can be calculated, allowing for the determination of the change in the magnetic field. The participants confirm that assuming a uniform increase in the magnetic field simplifies the calculations. This approach effectively leads to a solution for the homework problem.

A magnetic field is perpendicular to a 0.060 m 0.060 m rectangular coil of wire that has 100 turns. In a time of 0.070 s, an average emf of magnitude 1.5 V is induced in the coil. What is the magnitude of the change in the magnetic field?

My professor has not covered this in lecture yet, but this HW is due tomorrow. Reading the section for myself and looking at the equations, this is what i have come up with so far. Please help me out, thanks.

average induced emf=magnetic flux/time

average induced emf=B(Area)/time

average induced emf=-N(magnetic flux)/Time

Where do i start?

You're on the right track in applying Faraday's law, which relates the induced EMF to the rate of change of the magnetic flux. The flux through each loop equals B*Area; since the area is constant, the change in flux equals Area*(change in B).

Assume that the field increases uniformly and you can calculate the change in B; everything else is given.
 
got it. 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...
