SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the induced electromotive force (emf) and current in a square coil formed from a single-turn circular coil in a changing magnetic field. The initial emf of 0.76 V and current of 3.1 A were established for the circular coil. Upon reshaping the coil into a square configuration, the induced emf was calculated to be 0.589 V. Using Ohm's Law, the induced current in the square coil was determined to be 2.40 A, based on the unchanged resistance of the coil.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electromagnetic induction principles

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?


Homework Equations



I=ER

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?
