Magnetic Fields affect on voltage

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the effects of magnetic fields on voltage when a metal object passes through a uniform magnetic field created by two opposing magnets. As the object moves from outside the field into it, voltage is induced due to its motion, peaking when it is fully within the field and dropping as it exits. The voltage-time graph for a constant velocity would show a rise and fall corresponding to the object's entry and exit from the field. If the object were accelerating, the induced voltage would vary more significantly, potentially increasing as it enters and decreasing as it exits. Clarification on the relationship between magnetic fields and induced voltage is sought to better understand the phenomenon.

The north and south ends of two magnets are placed facing each other so that they create a uniform magnetic field. A small metal object passes through the field with a constant velocity. Sketch a graph to show how voltage varies with time for the path of the object from t=0 to t=3
t=0 object starts moving, t=1 object enters field, t=2 object reaches end of field, t=3 object moves away from field.
Repeat for if the object was accelerating.
Sorry, i know this may be vague and non-sensical but i have a diagram and don't know how else to describe it.

I thought that the object would act as a moving magnet therefore induce a voltage, but I really don't know where to go from there. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

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'

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...
