inductance, flux, capacitance
1. Homework Statement
The magnetic field at one place on the earth’s surface is 55 μT in strength and tilted 60°
down from horizontal. A 200-turn coil having a diameter of 4.0 cm and a resistance of 2.0 Ω
is connected to a 1.0 μF capacitor rather than to a current meter. The coil is held in a
horizontal plane and the capacitor is discharged. The coil is then quickly rotated 180° so that
the side that had been facing up is now facing down. Afterward, what is the voltage across
the capacitor? [Hint: use I=dq/dt


2. Homework Equations
LaTeX Code: \\Phi =ABcosLaTeX Code: \\theta
Vc=Q/C
Vl=-L(di/dt)
Vc=-Vl
I=LaTeX Code: \\Phi /L
LaTeX Code: \\Phi =NLaTeX Code: \\Phi per coil

3. The Attempt at a Solution
ok wat i did was find flux per coil=LaTeX Code: \\pi r2BcosLaTeX Code: \\theta =3.45x10-8
then flux=3.45x10-8*200=6.9x10-6=L(di/dt)=Q/C...
but that can't be right coz i know the answer is 12V... can someone please help me, I've been on this for 4 or hours and its 3am almost... due in tomoz... please someone help...
 
Physics news on Phys.org
any ideas??
 
please I am getting disparate here... well emf=|d\Phi/dt|=L*di/dt=6.91x10-6... does not sound right at all!
emf=IR=>I=emf/R=... oh id don't know please!
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
