[SOLVED] Induced Current

Homework Statement



If I have a scenario where one coil is insider another, in which of the following cases will the induced current in the outer coil be the greater?

When the applied current in the inner coil is increased slowly.
When the applied current in the inner coil is constant.
When the applied current in the inner coil is increasing rapidly.
When there is no applied current in the inner coil.

The Attempt at a Solution



I would say when the current in the inner coil is increasing rapidly, but I am not sure.

I just read that the faster the any changes are carried in setup, the greater the current, this should mean that if the applied current in the inner coil is increased fast, then the current should be greater, (but that would be for the inner), how about the outer.

I should think so. Because faster the current in the inner one changes, the greater the rate of change of flux in the system, and hence, greater the variation of current in the outer coil.
 
ok, so far we both agree it's should be when the applied current in the inner coil is increasing rapidly. anyone else agree to this?
 
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...

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...
