Homework Statement


A wire coil of 2 cm with 10 turns is in a magnetic field of 2 T. The field is perpendicular to the plane of each turn of the coil. The coil is wired in series with resistor of 5 Ω. The field drops at a constant rate to 0.0 T in 10 ms. What is the current through the resistor?

Homework Equations


V=IR
Possibly F=ILxB ?
Magnetic Flux= B⋅dA = Bπr2

The Attempt at a Solution


I=V/R

We know that the magnetic field drops from 2T to 0T in .01 seconds, or -200T/s

and the Resistor is 5 Ω

Flux= B⋅dA = Bπ(.02)2

I'm assuming I'm missing a link to these things in my head any help would be appreciated
