Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on applying Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction to a circular coil with specific parameters, including its turns, radius, and resistance. The user calculated the electromotive force (emf) as 1.3696 V but is struggling to derive the magnetic field at the center of the coil produced by the induced current. They attempted to calculate the current using Ohm's law and then used a formula to find the magnetic field, but their results differ from expected values. Participants in the discussion encourage sharing calculations to identify potential errors, emphasizing the importance of verifying each step in the process. The conversation highlights the complexities of electromagnetic induction and the calculations involved.

Homework Statement




A flat circular coil with 139 turns, a radius of 5.74 x 10-2 m, and a resistance of 0.502 Ω is exposed to an external magnetic field that is directed perpendicular to the plane of the coil. The magnitude of the external magnetic field is changing at a rate of ΔB/Δt = 0.952 T/s, thereby inducing a current in the coil. Find the magnitude of the magnetic field at the center of the coil that is produced by the induced current.

Homework Equations



Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic induction:
emf = -N(delta feta/delta time)

The Attempt at a Solution



I calculated the emf according to the Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic induction as 1.3696 V. But I do not know how to derive the magnetic field at the center of the coil, and I do not understand why resistance is given in this problem.

Please help!

The emf plus the resistance in the wire produce a finite current that you can calculate, right?

Does this current produce a magnetic field?
 
So I did I=E/R to calculate current, then used B=(4pi*10^-7)*I/2*pi*r to get magnetic field but still it's different from the answer. :( I'm just stuck.

That's the right idea.

I can't help find a mistake if I can't see your work. Please post your calculation.
 
Okay so...

emf= -N A cos 0 (change in B/change in t)
=-139 turns*(0.01035 m^2)*1*(0.952 T/S)
=-1.3696 V

I=E/R
=-1.3696 V/ 0.502 ohm
=-2.728

B=N*(4pi*10^-7)*I/2R
-this is the equation for the magnitude of the magnetic field at the center of a flat circular loop consisting of N turns, each of radius R.
=139*(4pi*10^-7)*-2.728/2*(5.74*10^-2)
=-.00415 TStill a wrong answer. I don't know where to go from here.

Your work seems fine to me. How do you know the answer is wrong?
 
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...
