Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around the behavior of induced currents in a wire loop as it accelerates through a homogeneous magnetic field. Participants are examining how the rate of change of magnetic flux affects the induced current in different positions of the loop.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking, Conceptual clarification

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants are questioning the ranking of induced currents at various positions of the loop, with some suggesting that the faster movement of the loop should lead to a different order of induced currents than what was initially presented.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants exploring different interpretations of the problem. Some have provided insights into the relationship between the loop's acceleration and the changing magnetic flux, while others are clarifying assumptions about the regions where the induced current is zero.

Contextual Notes

There is a mention of a diagram that is not in English, which may be affecting participants' understanding. Additionally, some participants are discussing the implications of the loop moving through regions of constant magnetic field.

Homework Statement
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
Relevant Equations

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##
