Induced current in a coil around a solenoid

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the induced current in a coil surrounding a solenoid with specific parameters. The magnetic field from the solenoid is derived using the formula B(t) = (1.8/.12)*μ*n*t, where n is converted to turns per meter. The induced electromotive force (emf) in the coil is calculated using the rate of change of the magnetic field times the area of the coil. The resulting induced current is found to be 0.000093 A, but the poster suspects an error in their calculations. The thread highlights the importance of correctly applying the equations and unit conversions in electromagnetic induction problems.

Homework Statement



A coil with 150 turns, a radius of 5.0 cm, and a resistance of 12 Ω surrounds a solenoid with 300 turns/cm and a radius of 4.3cm; see the figure. The current in the solenoid changes at a constant rate from 0 to 1.8 A in 0.12 s.

Homework Equations



B from solenoid = μ*n*I(t)
Induced emf = d(BA)/dt

The Attempt at a Solution



First I found the magnetic field generated by the solenoid as a function of time:

B(t) = (1.8/.12)*μ*n*t

Then found induced emf in the coil using d(B_{solenoid}*A_{coil})/d(t)

Then divided that result by the coil's resistance to get induced current, which I found to be .000093 A. However, this is wrong and I'm not sure where I'm making a mistake.

Thanks

PS - I'm using n = 30000 turns/m since n is originally given in turns/cm
 
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 '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...
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
