Induced magnetic flux through a coil

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the total magnetic flux through a circular coil with 100 turns in response to a time-varying external magnetic flux density applied along the z-axis. The total magnetic flux is expressed as a function of the external magnetic flux and the induced flux, with the equation Φt = BA - Φi. The challenge lies in determining the induced magnetic flux, which requires knowledge of how the magnetic flux density B varies over time. The provided formula for B complicates the process, as it remains a variable dependent on time. The relationship between induced EMF and magnetic flux is highlighted, emphasizing the need to derive flux from the induced EMF.

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?

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
