Solenoid magnetic flux and emf

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the electromotive force (emf), non-Coulomb electric field, and current in a wire bent into a circle and placed concentric with a solenoid experiencing a change in magnetic flux. The magnetic flux decreases from 8 T·m² to 6 T·m² over 0.2 seconds, which is crucial for applying Faraday's law of induction to find the emf. The resistance of the wire is 11 ohms, and its length is 2.3 m, which are essential for determining the current. The concentric arrangement of the wire and solenoid is significant for understanding the magnetic field's effect on the wire. Clarification on the setup and the relevance of the time interval for flux change is also sought in the discussion.

Homework Statement



A wire of resistance 11 ohms and length 2.3 m is bent into a circle and is concentric with a solenoid in which the magnetic flux changes from 8 T·m2 to 6 T·m2 in 0.2 seconds.

a) What is the emf in the wire?
b) What is the non-Coulomb electric field in the wire?
c) What is the current in the wire?

Homework Equations



B=muNI/L

The Attempt at a Solution



I suppose for (a) it's got something to do with emf=IR. But this needs I, which is part (c). But the magnetic field of a solenoid also needs I. I don't understand "into a circle and is concentric with a solenoid in which the magnetic flux changes from 8 T·m2 to 6 T·m2 in 0.2 seconds". Does the fact that it's concentric matter or is that just to say use the solenoid formula? Also if it changes from 8 T to 6 T, do I plug in the difference 2 T? And is 0.2 seconds extra information that is not necessary for this problem? Thanks.

Do you know Faraday's law of induction? Look into that one to find the emf in the bent wire.
As for the setup, then I don't quite understand where the coil is in respect to the solenoid, if it is inside the solenoid or outside, my guess is outside. But the fact that they are concentric is important since that tells you about the change in magnetic flux and the 0.2 seconds are important also.
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged 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...
