Induced magnetic flux through a coil

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the total magnetic flux through a circular conducting coil with 100 turns and radius "r" when subjected to a time-varying external magnetic flux density "B" along the z-axis. The total magnetic flux (Φt) is expressed as the difference between the externally applied magnetic flux (Φb) and the induced flux (Φi), following Lenz's law. The equation for the external magnetic flux density is given as B = Bi(1 - 3(t/ti)^2 + (t/ti)^3), which is crucial for determining the induced electromotive force (EMF) using E = -N(dΦ/dt). The challenge lies in deriving the induced magnetic flux from the provided equations.

Homework Statement


A circular conducting coil with N=100 turns and radius "r" is oriented in the xy plane. The leads of the coil are connected to a circuit with resistance "R." A time varying external magnetic flux density "B" is applied along the z-axis.

What is the total magnetic flux through the coil as a function of time?

Homework Equations


Φ = BA

The Attempt at a Solution


Φt = Φb - Φi
Φt = BA - Φi

(where Φt is the total magnetic flux through the coil, Φb is the externally applied magnetic flux and Φi is flux induced by lenz's law).

I am aware that there is an induced magnetic flux but cannot figure out how to determine it from the external magnetic flux. Is there just some equation I can't seem to locate?

Are you sure that's the whole problem? You can't determine the induced magnetic flux unless you know how B varies with time, because induced EMF is equal to negative the change the magnetic flux.
 
They do give you a formula for B,

B = Bi(1 - 3(t/ti)^2 + (t/ti)^3)

Everything is still left as a variable.

So from this then, E = -N(dΦ/dt) = -100*Bi(1 - 3(t/ti)^2 + (t/ti)^3) ?

And then how do I get flux from this emf?
