Homework Statement


A thin cylinder of radius r, thickness s, and length L, is made of metal with a resistivity of ρ. The cylinder is resting in a uniform magnetic field B0, with the field being in the same direction as the axis of the cylinder. The cylinder is then removed from the field. Find the current I0 that would be flowing initially, then find the rate at which energy would be dissipated by the resistance of the cylinder to the current flowing around it, and finally, find how long it would take at that rate for the magnetic energy in the cylinder to be dissipated.


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


I used B0=(μ0I0)/(2pi(r))
Then I solved for I0=((B0)(2pi(r))/(μ0)
I'm not too sure of the equations that I need to solve parts 2 and 3 of the problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You're trying to use an equation that relates the B field due to a current i (aka Ampere's law). Here the B field is not generated by the current you're looking for. The current you're looking for is the result of the external B field and the motion imparted to the cylinder as it's being removed from the B field.

Think Faraday instead.
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
