Homework Statement
A long solenoid of radius a , is driven by an alternating current , so that the field inside is sinusoidal: B(t)=B0cos(omega*t)z-hat. A circular loop of wire, of raduis a/2 and resistance R, is placed inside the solenoid and coaxial with it. Find the current induced in the loop , as a function of time.
Homework Equations
I=[tex]\epsilon[/tex]/R
[tex]\Phi[/tex]=[tex]\int[/tex]B[tex]\cdot[/tex] da
[tex]\epsilon[/tex]=[tex]\int[/tex]E[tex]\cdot[/tex]dl=[tex]\int[/tex](dB/dt)[tex]\cdot[/tex]da
The Attempt at a Solution
dB/dt=-omega*B0sin(omega*t)z-hat
[tex]\epsilon[/tex]=[tex]\int[/tex]omega*B0sin(omega*t) da, since the area of a circle is pi*r2, da is just pi*r2
I=omega*B0*sin(omega*t)*[tex]\pi[/tex]a2/(R)
episilon is supposed to be the electromotive force BTW.
