B What Is the Correct Calculation for Induced EMF in This Circuit Scenario?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the answers to two questions regarding a circuit, with one participant suggesting 3V and 6V as the answers. There is acknowledgment of a prior video that provided answers, but disagreement with the professor's conclusions is expressed. Participants are encouraged to share their reasoning to foster understanding rather than searching elsewhere. One contributor realizes they misinterpreted the circuit and acknowledges the need to consider the original diagram more carefully. Overall, the conversation highlights the complexities of circuit analysis and the importance of collaborative reasoning.

TL;DR Summary
Interesting and seemingly tricky question about induced electromagnetic force
I think the answer to the first question is 3V and the answer to the second question is 6V
Does anyone have a different answer?

seemingly tricky question
seemingly :rolleyes: ?

To be honest, when I started this discussion topic, I didn’t know that another video already showed the answer.

However, Youtube’s artificial intelligence quickly sent this video to my computer screen, I have watched it, but I am sorry, I may be wrong, but I really disagree with the answer provided by the professor, and I just posted my comment below the video.

So how about you post your reasoning here in YOUR thread so that we all don't have to go searching elsewhere

Because everyone has their own reasons and answers, I hope to give everyone time to think in their own way. When they see answers provided by others (not necessarily including the reasoning process), they may reconsider their reasoning. In addition, maybe many people (including myself) are not 100% sure that their answers are correct, so it is understandable that in this case, people may be patient and not rush to tell the details.

But you are also right. On the other hand, no one seems interested in providing answer so far. I might as well talk about my reasoning as follows,

Since the EMF of one loop is equal to 0.3+3=3.3V, the EMF of the two loops is twice, that is 6.6V, so the current of the two turns closed loop is equal to 6.6V/ (1 + 10) ohm = 0.6A, so the voltage across R1 becomes 0.6A*1 ohm = 0.6V , and the voltage across R2 becomes 0.6A * 10 ohms = 6V. :smile:

Close but wrong. On several counts. Sit out the spoiler -- it really is no punishment.

Thanks for the hint, I got it wrong. Instead of looking at the circuit diagram carefully, I built another circuit structure in my mind for reasoning. :oops:

Take a closer look at the original circuit diagram, the induced EMF of the newly added loop is just superimposed on the original V2.
