Faraday's Law and magnetic field

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the induced electromotive force (emf) in a coil placed in a time-varying magnetic field described by B=(At + Bt^4). The coil has 550 turns and a radius of 3.90 cm, and it is connected to a 640 Ohm resistor. The participants clarify that the induced emf can be derived from the magnetic flux, which involves the area of the coil and the derivative of the magnetic field with respect to time. The correct expression for the induced emf incorporates the number of turns, the area of the coil, and the time derivatives of the magnetic field components. The importance of including the radius for calculating the area is emphasized in the calculations.

A coil containing N = 550 turns with radius r = 3.90 cm, is placed in a uniform magnetic field that varies with time according to B=(At + Bt^4), where A = 1.05 \cdot 10^−2 {\rm T}/{\rm s} and B = 3.00 \cdot 10^−5 {\rm T}/{\rm s}^{4}. The coil is connected to a resistor of resistance 640 Ohms, and its plane is perpendicular to the magnetic field. The resistance of the coil can be neglected.

Find the magnitude of the induced emf in the coil as a function of time. Write your answer as an expression in terms of the variables given in the problem.

I'm thinking that the derivative of magnetic flux can be written as the derivative of (BA). A is constant, so it's A multiplied by the derivative of B.

I get (A + 4Bt^3)(A).

The induced EMF is the negative of that multiplied by N.

I typed that in, but it wasn't right.

What did I not consider?

the derivative of the flux with respect to time is going to be

n(area) (d B/dt)

or n*pi*r^2(A+4Bt^3)

I usually neglect the negative sign unless the problem allows you to define coordinates properly.
 
I see I did not use the radius for the area.

Thank you.
 
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 .
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 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'
My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
