Square Coil, Round Hole and mutual inductance

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the magnetic flux through a square coil placed inside a solenoid. The user is unsure how to find the magnetic field strength (B) necessary for the flux calculation, expressing confusion over the relevant equations for mutual inductance and induced emf. A responding user points out that the magnetic field inside a solenoid can be determined using established formulas, which the original poster acknowledges as a missing piece of knowledge. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the magnetic field in solenoids for solving such problems. Overall, the exchange emphasizes the need for foundational knowledge in electromagnetism to tackle related homework questions effectively.

Homework Statement


A square, single-turn wire coil L = 1.13 cm on a side is placed inside a solenoid that has a circular cross section of radius r = 2.77 cm, as shown in the figure below.

Basically a big circle with a square in the center.

The solenoid is 20.0 cm long and wound with 149 turns of wire. If the current in the solenoid is 3.29 A, find the flux through the coil.


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


I was thinking that this was a problem dealing with mutual inductance, but there isn't an equation that will give me the variable I need.
Є=-(ΔNΔΦ/Δt)
I don't know the induced emf (Є), and there isn't any change in time (Δt)
The equation for finding the flux doesn't help either:
Φ=BAcosΘ
I don't know the strength of the magnetic field (B). I really don't know what else to add. I've searched my book and pondered over every equation trying to find some way to solve this. I hope I don't piss anyone off due to lack of information, but this is my first time on this forum.

Any help/feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

There's your problem. You should know how to find the field inside a solenoid. :wink:

Ahhh, I should have known that. Thank you very much.
 
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...
