How Can I Use Magnetic Field Protractor to Solve for Magnetic Flux?

AI Thread Summary
To solve for magnetic flux using a magnetic field protractor, one must apply the formula Magnetic flux = Integral(B ⋅ dA). The discussion highlights that parts (a) and (b) of the problem were solved, but part (c) remains challenging, particularly in understanding how to incorporate the induced current and the rate of change of flux. The relationship ε = -dΦ/dt is crucial, where ε represents electromotive force and Φ is magnetic flux. Participants emphasize the importance of converting units correctly and suggest that taking the derivative of part (b) will help in solving part (c). Ultimately, expressing theta in terms of time is necessary for the calculations.

I managed to solve parts (a) and (b) independently. Here is my work for those two parts:

My real issue is with part (c) which uses the answers from (a) and (b). I have absolutely know idea how to solve part c, except that it involves in some way the formula Magnetic flux = Integral(B ⋅ dA)

Be careful with converting mm2 to m2.

So far, you have not mentioned the basic law of electromagnetism that accounts for the induced current in the circuit.

Yes, You're right. That law goes as follows:

ε = - the rate of change of flux (sorry I do not know how to write this in the proper notation)

And the induced current is found, simply, through Ohm's law: ε = iR

So how can I, with this, go about part (c)?

How do you find the rate of change of a quantity. What mathematical operation is involved?

Take the derivative. So I can take the derivative of part (b). But theta needs to be expressed in terms of the time, t?
 
Yes.
