Homework Equations

induced emf = |d(flux)/dt|
I = emf / R

The Attempt at a Solution

I am so lost as to what to do... and I am so desperate.. If you could tell me the steps to solve this question, i would appreciate it very much.

Show us the Biot-Savart Law (that gives you the B(r) around the wire). Then show us the rest of the solution. I have to give myself an infraction now for giving too big of a hint...

 

[erinec]

Well... the problem is that.. I got this far:

emf = | d(flux)/dt |
= dB * A / dt
= dB (0.04*0.01) / dt
= dB (4*10^-4) / dt

but i do not know how to get dB...;
in other words, i am totally lost.I have B(r) = u₀I/(2*pi*r)

This is my first time seeing this type of question.. and I am very confused as to what I'm doing.

Sorry if it sounds stupid.

The loop is moving with respect to the wire. So the B(t) through the loop will be changing, since the B is weaker the farther you get away from the wire. Write an equation based on the Biot-Savart Law for the flux throught the loop as a function of radius, and work from there...

 

[erinec]

Which radius should I use? The distance from the wire to the the inner side of the loop or the outer side of the loop?

You need to integrate over the loop radius.

I know this is old but I'm working on the exact same question.

So far i have this:

Where the bounds of integration are b = 0.02 and a = 0.03 and L= 4.0cm from the picture. This is where i get lost. I wanted to use faraday's law to use:

Am i just totally going about this the wrong way by trying to use flux, and i have to use biot savart law?
