This is not a homework problem due. It's practice. I have the answer of .198mV. I don't know how to get it.

Homework Equations



[tex]\phi_b = \int \vec B \cdot d\vec A[/tex]

[tex]E = -\frac{d\phi_b}{dt}[/tex]

The Attempt at a Solution



The magnetic field due to the solenoid is:

[tex]\mu_o i N[/tex]
[tex](1.26x10^{-6})(1.28 A)(85400 turns/m) = 1.37x10^{-1} T[/tex]

The flux through the circular loop is:

[tex]\phi_b = \int \vec B \cdat d\vec A[/tex]
[tex]\phi_b = BAcos 0 = BA[/tex]

[tex]B = 1.37x10^{-1}[/tex] [tex]A=6.8x10{-3}[/tex]
[tex]\phi_b = BAcos 0 = BA = (1.37x10^{1})(6.8x10^{-3})= 9.34x10^{-4} Wb[/tex]

To find the EMF induced:
[tex]E = -\frac{d\phi_b}{dt}[/tex]

I don't know where to go from here. How do I relate that 212rad/s to the problem?

So instead of using

[tex]B=\mu_o i_o N[/tex] we use:

[tex]B=\mu_o i_osin(\omega t)N[/tex] which leads to

[tex]\phi = BA = \mu_o i_osin(\omega t)NA[/tex]

[tex]E = -\frac{d\phi_b}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]E = -\frac{d}{dt}\mu_o i_osin(\omega t)NA[/tex]

[tex]E = -\mu_o i_oNA\frac{d}{dt}(sin(\omega t))[/tex]

Is this how you meant? I think I'm lost.

right yes and what is d/dt(sinωt) ?
 
As far as I can tell, (cos t)(ω)? Maybe??

So then


[tex]E=\mu_0 I_0 NBA \omega cos(\omega t)[/tex]


so what is the amplitude?
 
The amplitude of the wave is 1.28 at maximum. But I don't know what that gets me.

no that is for the current



[tex]E=\mu_0 I_0 NBA \omega cos(\omega t)[/tex]

What is the amplitude of E?
 
I don't understand.
 
The amplitude is equivalent to the maximum point on the wave that a wave equation describes.

Remember that cosine (and indeed sine) functions vary between -1 and 1, so the maximum cos value you can get is 1.

So what is the maximum that E can be in that equation?
 
(I think we have a typo. There shouldn't be a B in the equation, should there?)

Would it be: [tex] E=\mu_0 I_0 NA \omega[/tex]
because cos (ωt)=1?

Yes the B should be there.

so the amplitude would be

[tex]E= \mu_0 I_0 NBA\omega[/tex]EDIT: sorry you are right, it is [itex]E=\mu_0 I_0 NA \omega[/itex]
