Homework Statement
A 3 m long large coil with a radius of 15.7 cm and 130 turns surrounds a 7.2 m long solenoid with a radius of 5.7 cm and 4700 turns. The current in the solenoid changes as [tex] I=I_0 sin (2\pi f t) [/tex] where I0= 30 A and f=60 Hz.Inside solenoid has 4700 turns and outside coil has 130 turns. The equation for the emf is [tex] E= E_0 sin \omega*t [/tex] .There is also a resistor on the smaller coil that is 34 ohms. Find the maximum induced emf in the large coil. Answer in units of V.

Homework Equations

[tex] emf = -N\frac{d\phi}{dt}[/tex]
Magnetic field of solenoid
[itex]\mu_0IN/L[/itex]
The Attempt at a Solution
I will show my work done till now.If there is any mistake i made or step i forgot please tell me.
First i have to find the magnetic field of the inner solenoid.
Then i have to calculate the flux of the inner solenoid.
After that i have to use the magnetic field of inner solenoid to find the flux of outer solenoid.
Now i have to find the change in flux but the question here is , Do i have to subtract the inner from the outer or the opposite ?
Is is [tex]\phi[/tex]Outer - [tex]\phi[/tex]Inner ?
Or [tex]\phi[/tex]Inner - [tex]\phi[/tex]Outer ?
Now i know that i have to derive the flux change with respect to time but another question is here , shall i subtract the two fluxe first then derive the change or shall i derive them before subtraction ? ( I think that i will get the same answer whatever choice i select )
After i get the answer ( which i hope to get it very soon ) i will just multiply the whole thing i mean the time rate of change of that flux with the number of turns for the outer solenoid .
Please check my steps & tell me if i did something wrong.
