Homework Statement
A coil with 253 turns of wire, a total resistance of 28 Ohms, and a cross-section area of 0.36m^2 is positioned in a plane perpendicular to the field of a powerful electromagnet.
What average current is induced in the coil during the 0.33s that the magnetic field drops from 2.2T to 0.0T? Answer in units of A.
Homework Equations
E = BA / t
V = IR
The Attempt at a Solution
EMF = Change in B * Area / time
= (2.2 * .36) / .33
I plug that into V = IR
V = IR
[(2.2 * .36) / .33] = I * 28 Ohms
I = [(2.2 * .36) / .33] / 28 = 0.0857142857A
However I get the wrong answer.
I think it has something to do with the 253 coils of wire but I'm not sure.
Any help is appreciated.
