Find the induced magnetic current on the inner of two rings

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the induced current in a small circular loop placed at the center of a larger loop, as the current in the outer loop changes from +1A to -1A. The user attempts to apply relevant equations, including those for magnetic flux and induced current, but arrives at an incorrect answer of 3590 nA instead of the correct 4.79 nA. Key formulas discussed include the calculation of magnetic field (B), magnetic flux (Φ), and induced voltage (V). The user seeks clarification on the discrepancy in their calculations and the correct approach to determine the induced current. Understanding the correct application of Faraday's law and the relationship between changing magnetic fields and induced currents is crucial for solving this problem accurately.

Homework Statement


A small, 1.60-mm-diameter circular loop with R = 1.10×10−2Ω is at the center of a large 120-mm-diameter circular loop. Both loops lie in the same plane. The current in the outer loop changes from + 1A to -1A in 8.00×10^−2s .

What is the induced current in the inner loop? in nA

Homework Equations



I=ε/R
ε=Phi/t
Phi=A*B

The Attempt at a Solution



I=ε/R

Phi=(Area)*(Magnitude of field)
Phi = (PI*(8x10^-4^2 m^2)*??)

I am completely unsure of what to do after this. Please help! Thanks.

Ok, I tried this:

B=mu*I/2R

B1=4PIx10^-7 * +1 / 2*(1.1x10^-2)= 0.000785 T

B2=4PIx10^-7 * -1 / 2*(1.1x10^-2)= -0.000785 T

I=V/R

V=PHI1-PHI2/t

PHI1=A*B1

PHI1=PI*(8x10^-4)^2 * 0.000785 =1.58x10^-9

PHI2=A*B2=PI*(8x10^-4)^2 * - 0.000785=-1.58x10^-9

V=(1.58x10^-9)*2/(8x10^-2)
V=3.95x10^-8

I=V/R

I=(3.95x10^-8)/(1.1x10^-2)
I=3.59x10^-6 A =3590 nA

Yes?I submitted, but this was not correct. The correct answer was 4.79 nA. Can anyone please explain how?

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...
