Solving for the Changing Magnetic Field in a Conducting Loop

AI Thread Summary
To determine the rate of change of the magnetic field (dB/dt) in a conducting loop with an area of 240 cm² and a resistance of 14 ohms, Faraday's Law is applied. The induced current of 320 mA allows for the calculation of the electromotive force (emf) using the formula V = IR, yielding a voltage. Magnetic flux is defined as ΦB = BAcos(θ), where area and angle are constant, simplifying the evaluation of dB/dt. The relationship between voltage, magnetic flux, and the change in magnetic field over time is established, leading to the conclusion that dB/dt can be derived from the constants and the calculated voltage. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding calculus concepts for solving these equations.

A conducting loop of area 240cm^2 and resistance 14(Ohm symbol) lies at right angles to a spatially uniform magnetic field. The loop carries an induced current of 320mA .



At what rate is the magnetic field changing?

dB/dt= T/s

Ok...
So, I use Faraday's Law

Which is That "E" Symbol..=d(magnetic Flux)_B_/dt

Im given resistance so I am assuming I can use the formula I=E/R ...I have R(14) and the induced current which is 320mA...
So I can find "E"...
But what do I do from there...Im pretty lost on this stuff...@_@
Thankyou.

Rather than calling it an "E" symbol, its better if you call if emf (which is voltage...I'm sure you know this, its just that using E might get things confused with electric field). Faraday's law shows that a changing magnetic flux/field induces a voltage. So in this case, the changing magnetic field is inducing a voltage across the conducting loop. V = -d(PhiB)/dt, in which PhiB is magnetic flux. I = V/R, thus V = IR. With this you have the voltage. Magnetic flux is BAcos(theta). You have the angle and area and it doesn't seem that the problem says these 2 values are changing, so you can take them to be constant. So from this, you can evaluate dB/dt.
 
Ok so...Ur using "V" as emf. Got it.
dB/dt...the derivative...of..Where do I get "B" to even solve for mag. flux?
I See V=(14)(320mA) so I have
V=-d(phiB) which is BAcos(theta) But how do I get "B"?
and once found what is my dt?
 
d(phiB)/dt refers to derivative of magnetic flux in respect to time...if you're unfamiliar with calculus, then don't worry...in this case you could look at it as Delta(phiB)/Delta(t), which is equal to Delta(B*A*cos(theta))/Delta(t). Since A and cos(theta) are constant, you could pull those out so that it becomes A*cos(theta)*Delta(B)/Delta(t)...Delta(B)/Delta(t) refers to change in magnetic field over time, which is what you're looking for.
 
And I can solve for B by using I=E/R Since I have "R and "I" and I know E is B(pi)r^2 and I know what "r" (since I know area)is I can solve for "B" using [B(pi)r^2)=IR Then I'll have "B" So I pull out my constants on the intergral so its A*cos (Delta B/Deltat)
But How do I go about finding "t"?
 
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 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...
