What is the Magnitude of the Magnetic Field in a Moving Loop?

AI Thread Summary
To find the magnitude of the magnetic field in the moving loop scenario, the change in magnetic flux is given as 0.0044 Wb over a time of 1.5 seconds. The equation E = delta flux / delta time is relevant for calculating the induced electromotive force (EMF). The velocity of the loop, 0.042 m/s, is crucial for determining how the area of the loop interacting with the magnetic field changes over time. The discussion emphasizes understanding whether the magnetic field strength, area, or both are changing to accurately apply the flux equation. Clarifying these variables is essential for solving the problem effectively.

Homework Statement



A rectangular loop of wire is moving toward the bottom of the page with a speed of .042 m/s. The loop is leaving a region in which a magnetic field is directed into the page; the magnetic field outside this region is zero. If during the time of 1.5 s the magnitude of the change in magnetic flux is .0044 Wb, what is the magnitude of the magnetic field?

Homework Equations



E = delta flux / delta time ?

The Attempt at a Solution


I thought this was the equation to use mainly. but i have no idea where the veloicty comes into play. any help would be appreciated!

Flux is B*A in this case, and you know d/dt (flux) = .0044. So you need to discover what part of the flux is changing: B, A, both?
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
