Having trouble on two problems- magnetism/inductance

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on two physics problems involving magnetism and inductance. For the first problem, the user needs to apply Faraday's Law to determine the magnetic field strength based on the induced emf and the rate of area change of a coil. The second problem requires the use of the Lorentz force equation and the principles of circular motion to calculate the radius of the path of a charged ion in a magnetic field after being accelerated through a potential difference. Participants suggest starting with the relevant equations and provide hints for solving each problem. Clear guidance on applying these concepts is requested to facilitate understanding and problem-solving.

Not to be lazy or anything, but I was having a lot of trouble on these two physics problems for homework and don't know where to start for either.

I think for 1 I use Faraday's Law and for 2 I usee F=BILsin Theta... not sure

1. A square, single-turn coil 0.23 m on a side is placed with its plane perpendicular to a constant magnetic field. An emf of 16 mV is induced in the winding when the area of the coil decreases at a rate of 0.12 m2/s. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field?
answer in T
2. A singly charged positive ion has a mass of 2.30 10-26 kg. After being accelerated through a potential difference of 260 V, the ion enters a magnetic field of 0.530 T, in a direction perpendicular to the field. Calculate the radius of the path of the ion in the field.
answer in cm

If possible post how to do it with answer, or explain where to start and i'll try and figure it out from there. Would be much help, thanks!

For 1, use the relationship (Faraday's Law):

V = -\frac{d\phi}{dt}, where \phi = BA
Hint: You know that B is constant, but the change is in A.

For 2, you can use the Lorentz force equation in conjunction with the equation for circular motion (i.e):

F = qv \times B = m\frac{v^2}{r}
 
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 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'
Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
