    Loop Square Wire
AI Thread Summary
A square loop of wire with negligible self-inductance is analyzed as it moves through magnetic fields. When entering a uniform magnetic field, a clockwise current flows in the loop, and while fully within the field, the electromotive force (emf) is zero. Upon exiting the field, the loop again generates a clockwise current. The loop experiences a magnetic force to the right when entering the field and to the left when leaving it, as explained by Lenz's law. Understanding these principles is crucial for solving related physics problems.

Homework Statement


A square loop of wire with a small resistance is moved with constant speed from a field free region into a region of uniform B field (B is constant in time) and then back into a field free region to the right. The self inductance of the loop is negligible.

A) Upon entering the field, a clockwise current flows in the loop.
B) While the loop is entirely in the field, the emf in the loop is zero.
C) Upon leaving the field, a clockwise current flows in the loop.
D) When entering the field the coil experiences a magnetic force to the right.
E) When leaving the field the coil experiences a magnetic force to the left.

Homework Equations


k so i assume we use the right hand rule for all of these.


The Attempt at a Solution


The only one that I know for sure to be right is B. Other then that I am a little confused. if you can just give me some hints that would help greatly

Hint: Look up Lenz's law in your book. It states that the current will flow in a direction to oppose the applied field. (You'll need your right-hand rule to figure it out). Lenz's law will also tell you the answer to D, E if you think about it.
 
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 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'
Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
