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.
