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.
 
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
