Homework Statement:
We have 2 solenoids. The smaller (2) is inside the large one (1) with the axes aligned. Length1 is 0.63, radius1 0.051 m and N1 670 turns. The smaller length2 0.23 m, radius2 0.031 m and N2 260 turns. The larger solenoid has sine form AC with amplitude of I1 1.51 A and frequency1 120 1/s.

a) What is the biggest magnetic field B1 of the larger solenoid?
b) How large is the highest voltage V2 of the smaller solenoid?
Relevant Equations:
B1 = u0*N1*I1 / length1
Several forms for M, inductance
I = I0 * sin(frequency*t)
Faradays's law for V =
a) is pretty clear and got correct but b) I'm struggling with.

For b) I guess one could take the derivative of I and specify the moment t when you can plug that into Faraday's law. Or could this be solved somehow with inductance?

Hi,

You didn't write down Faraday's law, but that is indeed what you need.

Faraday's law needs ##\displaystyle{d(BA)\over dt}## and you have all you need to calculate the generated emf, which then comes out as a function of time.

(I am fairly certain you are allowed to use B1 as if it's constant over the length of the small coil).
