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.
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
