Find an expression for magnetic flux and calculate

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating magnetic flux through a wire loop in a changing magnetic field. The magnetic field is defined as B(t) = B0 exp(kt), where B0 is 7.00x10^-2 T and k is 0.250 s^-1. At t=25s, the calculated magnetic field strength is approximately 1.189 T, and the area of the loop is 0.0314 m². Using the flux equation, the magnetic flux is determined to be 0.0264 Wb, factoring in the angle of 45 degrees. There is some confusion regarding the calculation of B(t), with a suggestion that the value may differ significantly from the initial calculation.

Homework Statement


Loop of wire with the following properties in a magnetic field B. Find an expression for the magnetic flux through the loop and evaluate the magnetic flux at t=25s.
The magnetic field is uniform but changes strength at time (t) given by
B(t) = B0 exp (kt)Resistance = 20ohms
Radius of loop = 10cm
Angle of loop in magnetic field = 45 degrees
B0 (constant) = 7.00x10^-2 T
k (constant) = 0.250 s^-1

Homework Equations


Flux = AB cos theta
Area of circle = Pi r^2

The Attempt at a Solution


So I'm working out B first from the function as:
B(t) = 7.00x10^-2 T x exp x 0.250 s^-1 x 25s. = 1.189 T
Area of loop = Pi x 0.10m^2 = 0.0314m^2
Then using the flux equation with these values I get:
0.0314 m^2 x 1.189 T x cos45 = 0.0264 Wb

Is this correct? Thanks in advance

Angle of loop in magnetic field = 45 degrees
 
Sorry are you asking for clarification?
 
e^(25 * .25) = e^6.25 = 518
.07 * 518 = 36.3
That differs considerably from the 1.19 that is shown for B.
 
Sorry, didn't see the cos45 term.
 
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...
