Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around calculating the resistance of a wire loop within a magnetic field. The original poster presents a scenario involving a rectangular wire loop with specific dimensions, moving through a uniform magnetic field, and provides details about the wire's radius and resistivity.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Mathematical reasoning

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the formula for resistance and suggest using known values for resistivity, length, and area. Some mention the relevance of magnetic flux and electromotive force (emf) in the context of the problem. Others question whether the original poster is seeking resistance or impedance, noting that some provided information may not be necessary for calculating resistance.

Discussion Status

Participants are exploring different aspects of the problem, with some providing formulas and guidance on how to approach the calculation. There is a mix of interpretations regarding the information's relevance, and no consensus has been reached on the exact requirements of the original poster's question.

Contextual Notes

The original poster expresses urgency due to an upcoming exam and indicates a perceived lack of sufficient information to solve the problem. There is a focus on the relationship between the wire's physical properties and the magnetic field context.

HELP ! Elctromagnetic Questions

Ok I need to solve for Resistance, but itseems like I don't have enough info
Here's my question :

The rectangular wire loop has dimensions of 4.0cm by 3.0cm. Moving at constant
speed, the loop completely exits the 0.14T uniform magnetic field in 0.12 seconds.
The wire has a radius of 0.40mm and a resistivity of 2.15 x 10^-8 Ohm x m .

Determine:

A) the resistance of the wire

Can you please help me with this ?
I have exam on following monday SO i need to get this ASAP !
THank you sooo much

R=rho L/A. You know rho, L, and A.
 
You can figure it out using the rules for magnetic flux and emf.

[tex]\Phi = \iint \mathbf{B} \cdot d\mathbf{a}[/tex]

which if the magnetic field is constant, then

[tex]\Phi = B*Area[/tex]

then the emf would be

[tex]\epsilon = \frac{d \phi}{dt}[/tex]

you can find the current with current density formulas and whatnot. Do some work, and we'll see how we can help you.
 
Do you perhaps mean you need the impedance of the wire? Otherwise for resistance most of the given information about the shape of the wire (loop) is superfluous as Pam suggests. Only rho, L, A determine the resistance, the other information has no effect.
