The discussion revolves around a problem involving geometric shapes, specifically a circle, rectangle, and square, and the confusion surrounding the question's intent. Participants express uncertainty about the relevance of the shapes to the problem at hand.
The conversation is ongoing, with participants sharing their interpretations and questioning the assumptions made in the problem statement. There is no clear consensus, but various perspectives are being explored regarding the shapes and their implications.
Participants note potential confusion stemming from the problem's wording and the inclusion of shapes that may not be directly relevant to the calculations involved.
I think they are just giving you extra information to try to confuse you. Just use the area of the square loop and the changing B field to calculate the induced voltage, and then use the resistance R to calculate the resulting current. I don't think you use the variable r, but I guess I could be missing something.Ashley1nOnly said:
There is no circle: what is given is the radius of the wire, not the loop. And a square is simply a special case of a rectangle.Ashley1nOnly said:
