Moving loop in magnetic field (concepts)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a wire loop moving into a constant magnetic field, prompting questions about the direction of the induced magnetic field and the magnetic force on the loop. For the first question, the induced current creates a magnetic field that opposes the change, which can be determined using Lenz's Law. The second question addresses the magnetic force on the loop, which is believed to oppose the motion, suggesting it points to the left. The participant seeks clarification on these concepts and receives guidance to apply similar reasoning to both questions. Understanding the relationship between motion, induced currents, and magnetic forces is crucial in this scenario.

Homework Statement


In the figure, a region with constant (externally produced) magnetic field is shown. A wire loop moves into the magnetic field.

[Image Included]

Question 1While the loop is moving into the region with the constant external magnetic field, the magnetic field inside the loop due to the induced current in the loop points ...

Question 2Which of the following is correct? While the loop is moving into the region with the constant external magnetic field, the magnetic force on the loop points ...

Answer Choices
... into the page
... out of the page
... left
... down
... No magnetic field is induced by the movement of the loop.
... up
... right

Homework Equations


|e| = vBL (Not sure if it's relevant)

The Attempt at a Solution


For #1 I don't have any idea. For #2 I think that the force would oppose the motion, and therefore point to the left.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

You answer to question two is correct, apply the same logic to the first question.
 
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...
