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!
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
