Magnitude of electric field in an area of changing magnetic field

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on determining the behavior of the electric field within a cylinder with a time-varying magnetic field. Participants debate whether the electric field at a point inside the cylinder varies with distance from the center. It is concluded that the electric field remains constant along concentric circles due to symmetry, despite the changing magnetic field. The relationship between electric field and magnetic field is highlighted through the use of Faraday's law of induction. The consensus is that the electric field is not dependent on the distance from the center within the cylinder.

Homework Statement



A cylinder of radius R has a uniform, time varying mag. field B, (dB/dt < 0).
magnitude of electric field at a point P at a distance r (<R) is:

a) decreasing with r
b) increrasing with r
c) not varying with r
d) varying as r^-2

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



i think that electric field should be independent of r, as the field is uniform and doesn't vary with r, and the point is inside the cylinder.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
hey arnab electric field is E=-d(phi)/dt
and phi depend on the area , and area depends on the radius :D

i think that's the Emf and not the electric field. anyways, option d is wrong (anyways, ur explanation wasnt even giving option d)
 
due Emf and Eds have a relation ?
 
sorry that was a typo
 
electric field is (potential) x (dist.) but in this case what's the distance? why does it have to be the distance from centre?
 
refer NCERT man its all given there
 
The line integral of E around a closed curve is equal to the negative time derivative of the integral of B for the enclosed area.

\int{E_s ds}=-\int \frac{\partial B}{\partial t}dAThe magnetic field is constant inside the cylinder, so the magnitude of the electric field is constant along a concentric circle by symmetry. Both E and B can be factored out from the integrals... ehild
