Wire loop placed in B field which is decreasing uniformly

AI Thread Summary
A wire loop with an area of 2.0×10−4 m² and 40 turns experiences a uniform magnetic field B0 that decreases linearly to zero, resulting in a total charge of 4.0×10−6 C passing through the loop. The induced electromotive force (Emf) is expressed as Emf = -N * A * (ΔB/Δt), and Ohm's law is applied to relate Emf to current and resistance (Emf = IR). The relationship between current and total charge flow is highlighted, leading to the conclusion that ΔB can be expressed as ΔB = QR/NA. The discussion clarifies the correct approach to solving for B0 using these relationships. Overall, the key focus is on understanding the relationship between magnetic flux, induced charge, and the resulting magnetic field.

Homework Statement


A wire loop of area 2·0×10−4 m2
contains 40 turns, and has a total resistance of
40Ω. The plane of the loop is perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field of magnitude
B0. The magnetic field is now turned off such that the flux through the loop drops
linearly to zero. A total charge 4·0 ×10−6 C passes around the loop. Determine B0.


Homework Equations


None given


The Attempt at a Solution


Ok so I think that
Emf=-N\frac{d\Phi}{dt}
but it says that the field drops linearly so that just becomes
Emf=-NA\frac{\Delta B}{\Delta t}

Also Emf=IR

So from this I equated the two but I will just end up with an expression for B0 dependent on t, and I'm not sure if this is what is wanted. I'm unsure about my use of Ohm's law here too. Thanks in advance, any help at all would be great.

You need one more idea: What is the relationship between the current and the total mount of charge that flows?
 
Current is the rate of flow of charge. So could I say from this that
B=IR/NA? Because I'll have a rate on either side of my equation?
 
When you set your two expressions for Emf equal to each other and solve for ΔB, what expression do you get for ΔB?
 
Oh right I see, misread the question, didn't realize that it was charge not current. So you can write ΔB=QR/NA. Thanks very much!
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
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...
