    Calculating EMF and Current in a Parallel Plate Capacitor Loop

    Homework Statement A rectangular loop of wire is situated so that one end (height h) is between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor, oriented parallel to the field E. The other end is way outside , where the field is essentially zero. What is the emf in the loop? If the total...

    Cause of the Electromotive Force.

    In an electric current there must be forces that push electrons in a general direction (current). My question is, what creates this force (electromotive force)? I assume that this force, that moves electrons, is created by a surplus of electrons in one area. Perhaps they move because the...

    Understanding Electromotive Force: Solving Problems in Magnetic Fields

    Here are my homework problems. I did most of them, but I don't understand how to do the others. 1. A rod of length 0.40 m moves in a magnetic field of magnitude B=1.2 T. The emf induced in the moving rod is found to be 2.40 V. a)what is the speed of the rod? b)if the total circuit...

    Electromotive force and Lorenz Force HELP

    If I have a rectangular coil with no current flowing on it traveling at a velovity v; and I have an infinetely long wire with a constante current i on the same plane of the rectangular coil which velocity v is perpendicular to the wire, is the lorenz force equal to zero because I have only...
