Homework Help on Kirchoff's Laws and Magnetic Induction

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around problems related to Kirchhoff's Laws and magnetic induction, specifically focusing on the interpretation of magnetic flux and its units, as well as the application of Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the units of magnetic flux, questioning the correctness of using tesla instead of Weber. There are attempts to clarify the relationship between magnetic flux and Faraday's law. Some participants express confusion regarding specific problems and seek verification of their approaches.

Discussion Status

There is an ongoing exploration of the correct units for magnetic flux and how they relate to the problems at hand. Some participants have provided guidance on applying Faraday's law, while others are still seeking clarity on their attempts and the initial setup of the problems.

Contextual Notes

Participants are working within the constraints of a homework assignment, with specific problems referenced from homework 8. There is a noted lack of consensus on the interpretation of the problems and the necessary equations to apply.

In second problem of your attached pdf ,unit of magnetic flux is given to be tesla,it is incorrect.It should be Wb.
Then the problem becomes easy.Just apply faraday's law of electromagnetic induction.
One more thing ,in faraday's law make sure you have included number of loops.

gracy, I am confused because the problem says 0.04T to 0.3 T. What do you mean the answer should be in Webers?

I am not talking about answer rather second QUESTION.
 
What do you mean second Question? . From homework 8, I am looking at problem 2.

Yes ,I am talking about that only.
 
So it should be 0.26 Webers? Or are you saying I need to convert that to webeters to use it in the emf equation?
 
Ok.Just look at faraday's law f electromagnetic induction,and tell me it has magnetic flux or magnetic field?
 
In problem 1, you can use fewer equations: Naming the loop currents L1 and L2, they must be:

Loop 1: 8V - L1*50Ω - 10V - L1*200Ω + L2*200Ω = 0
Loop 2: 40V - L2*200Ω + L1*200Ω + 10V= 0

The voltage change over R3 is caused by both L1 and L2 as they both pass R3.

Having solved L1 and L2, you can easily calculate I1 = L1, I2 = L2, I3 = L1 - L2

magnetic flux.
Good.What is the unit of flux?
 
  • #12
I guess I don't understand where you are going with this.
 
  • #13
In the book it uses m^2T

For what?
 
  • #15
magnetic flux.
 
  • #16
Yes.Actually magnetic flux SI unit is Weber (symbol Wb)And one weber per square metre is one tesla(T)
I hope you now understand what is wrong with the problem 2 of homework 8,
 
  • #17
It's the units for flux to use
 
  • #18
Did I do 3 and 1 correctly?
 
  • #19
Can anyone give me assistance on 4-13 on how to start. I've looked in my book several times.
 
  • #20
So what is your answer of problem 2 of homework 8,?
 
  • #21
The emf was right. It was 0.37 V.
