Faraday's law with loop of wire and resistor

AI Thread Summary
A coil with a radius of 3.65 cm and 560 turns is subjected to a time-varying magnetic field, resulting in an induced emf expressed as E= 2.81×10^−2 V +( 2.86×10^−4 V/s^3)t^3. The coil is connected to a 600-Ω resistor, and the current needs to be calculated at t0 = 4.50 s. The discussion highlights the importance of considering the number of turns in the emf calculation and suggests incorporating self-inductance into the analysis. Despite obtaining the correct emf, the user encounters difficulties in calculating the current. Understanding the relationship between induced emf, resistance, and self-inductance is crucial for accurate results.

A coil 3.65 cm radius, containing 560 turns, is placed in a uniform magnetic field that varies with time according to B=( 1.20×10^−2 T/s)t+( 3.05×10^−5 T/s4)t^4. The coil is connected to a 600-Ω resistor, and its plane is perpendicular to the magnetic field. You can ignore the resistance of the coil.
What is the current in the resistor at time t0 = 4.50 s ?I got the correct induced emf value:
E= 2.81×10^−2 V +( 2.86×10^−4 V/s3 )t^3

I've tried plugging in 4.5s into the emf equation and then dividing I = V/R but the answer is incorrect.

Did you multiply it by the no of turns(560)?

Yes, that's part of the emf value.
 
Has your course covered self-inductance?
Perhaps you're expected to include the factor E = - L di / dt.
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
