    Current Emf
AI Thread Summary
A changing magnetic field induces an emf of 0.76 V and a current of 3.1 A in a circular coil. When the coil is reshaped into a square, the induced emf is calculated to be 0.589 V. The resistance of the coil remains constant, allowing the current to be determined using Ohm's Law. The resulting current in the square coil is approximately 2.40 A. The discussion emphasizes the relationship between emf, current, and resistance when altering the shape of the coil.

Homework Statement


A magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane of a single-turn circular coil. The magnitude of the field is changing, so that an emf of 0.76 V and a current of 3.1 A are induced in the coil. The wire is the re-formed into a single-turn square coil, which is used in the same magnetic field (again perpendicular to the plane of the coil and with a magnitude changing at the same rate). What emf and current are induced in the square coil?

The Attempt at a Solution


i found the emf (.589V) but i can't figure out the current. what do i do?

Well your equation is wrong, it's Ohm's Law, remember

So if you know the voltage and current, you can find the resistance of the coil, which doesn't change. Therefore if you change the voltage(which you've done by reshaping the coil), you can find the current induced
 
2.40a?
 
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...
