Induced Current and Magnetic Fields

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on understanding induced magnetic fields and current directions in relation to sample problems. The original poster seeks validation for their answers and reasoning, particularly regarding the relationships between the original magnetic field, induced current, and induced magnetic field. They express confusion about the process, specifically how to approach the problems effectively. A participant suggests that it may be easier to determine the induced current first, noting that the induced magnetic field opposes the original field. The original poster appreciates the feedback and requests further review of their answers.

Homework Statement



Hey everyone,
I'm studying for a final and have been having difficulty determining induced magnetic field and current direction. I have a document (link below) with 5 sample problems. I answered them all, and put my reasoning for the answers there in italics. Would someone be kind enough to tell me if my answers are correct, and whether or not the process by which I arrived at them is sound? I would greatly appreciate it.

Homework Equations


B=uI/2(pi)r
B=uIN/l
Flux=BAcos(theta)
Vind = N(delta flux)/(delta time)

The Attempt at a Solution



I've put my answers and thought processes in italics on the following document:

1. If the B-field is into the page, the induced B-field would be the opposite to the original field. The induced field would be less than the original. knowing the direction of the B-field use the RHR to find the induced current.

2. looks right

3. The exact same as 2 just different orientation. 2 is right but 3 is not

4. brain fart sorry

5. brain fart sorry
 
I think maybe I was approaching this the wrong way.

So, on number 2, the current in the wire produces a B original. Then this B original produces a current in the loop. And that current in the loop then produces a B induced?

Before I was going B original to B induced to I induced. I don't know why I find this so confusing. But I really appreciate your help.

Thanks in advance.

it usually doesn't matter whether you find the B-field or the induced current. I always found it easier to find the current first, and knowing induced B-field always opposes the original magnetic field
 
I think I'm on the edge of understanding something here. :) Thanks for your help so far, Liquidxlax.


Would anyone be willing to take a look at the 4th and 5th ones (or all 5 if you have the time) on the document I linked and tell me how far off the mark I am on those? Greatly appreciated.
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'
My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
