Help with Basic Homework, about electromagnetic induction

AI Thread Summary
Electromagnetic induction (EMI) occurs due to the rate of change of magnetic flux, where moving a conductor through a magnetic field induces an electric current. The right-hand rule helps determine the direction of current flow; if the thumb points in the direction of motion and fingers in the magnetic field direction, the palm indicates current direction. Transformers operate by transferring energy between two coils through electromagnetic induction, where a changing current in one coil induces a current in the second coil. Understanding these concepts is crucial for grasping the principles of EMI and transformers. Mastering these basics will prepare for the quiz effectively.

Ok, so my class has spent about a day on the topic of electromagnetic induction and I really you help on this subject because tomorrow i have a quiz.

I don't need you to explain it in a super detailed way but in a fashion where the teacher will realize that i actually understand these topics.

1. How does electromagnet induction work? Basic definition?
2. How do I find the direction of current when I am inducing a magnetic field? I know this is related to the right hand rule but i need someone to explain it further.
3. How do transformers work (All I really know is it is something about 2 coils)

UNDERSTAND THE TOPIC BY SOUL.NO NEED TO SHOW OFF YOUR TEACHER THAT YOU KNOW IT.YOU BETTER UNDERSTAND IT.

1.FIRSTLY electromagnetic induction(EMI) IS CAUSED DUE TO RATE OF CHANGE OF FLUX.
EX.IF I MOVE A MOVABLE ROD OF LENGTH 'L' CONNECTED TO A CIRCUIT IN REGION WHERE MAGNETIC FIELD IS THERE.THEN THE ELECTRONS IN JUMPER MOVE TO RIGHT WITH VELOCITY V.ALSO MAGNETIC FORCE ACTS PERPENDICULAR TO VELOCITY ON ELECTRONS F=-eVB.
WHERE e IS ELECTRONIC CHARGE & B THE MAGNETIC FIELD.
NOW ELECTRIC FIELD CORRESPONDING TO FORCE E=F/(-e)=(V x B)
WE HAVE POTENTIAL V=E x L=-VBL
NOW VL=INCREMENT IN AREA=dS/dt
V=-B*dS/dt=-(B*dS)/dT=-d(fi)/dT= -RATE OF CHANGE OF FLUX.
THE REST TRY TO UNDERSTAND THEM YOURSELF.
 
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...
