Chapter 21, Problem 9



Chapter 21, Problem 9
A x1 cm × x2 cm rectangular circuit containing a x3 Ω resistor is perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field that start out at x4 T and steadily decreases at x5 T/s. 
While this field is changing, what does the ammeter read?  (What is electric current in the circuit?)

Electrodynamics → Electromagnetic Induction: Problem 1

A metal disc...

A metal disc of radius R = x1 cm rotates with a constant angular velocity ω = x2 rad/s about its axis. Find the potential difference between the centre and the rim of the disc if

(a) the external magnetic field is absent;

(b) the external uniform magnetic field B = x3 mT is directed perpendicular to the disc.

Solutions: Chapter 21, Problems 4, 7

Chapter 21, Problem 4. A single loop of wire with an area of x1 m2 is in a uniform magnetic field that has an initial value of x2 T, is perpendicular to the plane of the loop, and is decreased with the constant rate of x3 T/s.
(a) What emf is induced in this loop?

(b) If the loop has a resistance of x4 Ω, find the current induced in the loop.

Chapter 21, problem 7. A closely wound rectangular coil of N turns has dimensions of x1 cm by x2 cm. The plane of the coil is rotated from a position where it makes an angle of x3ᵒ with a magnetic field of x4 T to a position perpendicular to the field. The rotation takes x5 s.
What is average emf induced on the coil?
