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"?
 
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
