AI Thread Summary
To find the loop current in a conducting loop with an area of 0.13 m² and a resistance of 5.0 ohms in a time-varying magnetic field, apply Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. The magnetic field is defined as B_z = at² - b, with given constants a = 2.4 T/s² and b = 8.2 T. The first step involves calculating the electromotive force (emf) induced in the loop due to the changing magnetic flux. As the magnetic flux changes over time, the induced current can be determined using the formula I = emf/R. The solution requires careful application of Faraday's law to account for the time-dependent nature of the magnetic field.

Homework Statement



A conducting loop with area 0.13m^2 and resistance 5.0 ohms lies in the x-y plane. A spatially uniform magnetic field points in the z direction. The fields varies with time according to B_z_=at^2 - b, what a=2.4 T/s^2 and b=8.2 T

Find the loop current t=1.5s

I= A

Homework Equations



Im looking for I and I am given a R so I know I use I=emf/ R
Im guessing my 1st step is to find "emf" but there lies my problem...how should I go about it?
Thankyou.

Just apply Faraday's law. Now of course the question is how exactly do you apply it? Note that magnetic flux through a conducting loop changes if either the strength or direction of the field varies with time.
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged 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...
