How Does Induced Current Change with Loop Acceleration Through a Magnetic Field?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the behavior of induced currents in a wire loop accelerating through a magnetic field. Participants debate the ranking of induced currents, with initial solutions suggesting I4 > I2 > I1 = I3 = I5 = 0, while questioning why I5 should not be greater given the loop's acceleration. It is clarified that regions where the induced current is zero correspond to areas of constant magnetic field, where the rate of change of magnetic flux is zero. The conversation also addresses confusion over a diagram that was in Croatian, which some users found challenging to interpret. The thread was briefly closed for moderation but reopened for further discussion.

A wire loop accelerates from position 1 to position 5. It enters an area of a homogenous non changing magnetic field B. Rank the induced currents in the loop starting from the biggest. in solutions it says I4>I2>I1=I3=I5=0 but i dont understand why

At the edge of the field region the flux through the loop will start changing. The faster the loop is moving (later in the acceleration) , the faster the rate of change of flux.

shouldnt it then be I5>I4>I3>I2>I1
 
The picture appears to be in Polish which is a problem for me........
I assume the places where I is zero are regions of constant field (no edges intersected by loop).

its croatian, but i translated the text i just put this for the drawing in case it is not clear from the text
what do you mean that edges arent intersected by loop
 
Croation.
The loop moves in a region of constant field then ##\frac {d \phi} {dt}=0##

ok thanks
