Induced Voltage created on a loop entering a magnetic field

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the induced voltage in a loop as it enters a magnetic field. The loop measures 0.69m by 0.69m and moves at a velocity of 0.81m/s into a magnetic field of 0.21T. The formula for electromotive force (EMF) is provided, but clarification is needed on how to determine the time variable using velocity. It is suggested that the area swept out per second can be used to calculate the change in magnetic flux over time. Understanding these relationships is crucial for solving the problem effectively.

Homework Statement



A 0.69m long and 0.69m wide loop is moved at a constant velocity of 0.81m/s from a region of zero magentic field into a perpendicular constant magnetic field of 0.21T. Calculate the magnitude of the induced voltage in the loop while it is entering the B-field

Homework Equations


EMF=-N*A*B/T


The Attempt at a Solution


I can plug in the numbers for the number of loops N (1), the area A (LxW), and the magnitude of the field B (.21T), but how do I find the time from just knowing the velocity?

no, it's -∂/∂t (NAB) :wink:

(ie -∂/∂t (magnetic flux) )
 
If you know the velocity and dimensions you should be able to calculate area swept out per second and therefore flux change per second
 
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...
