Induced emf in coil with decreasing current

AI Thread Summary
A single-turn circular loop is placed coaxially with a long solenoid, and the solenoid's current decreases linearly, prompting a calculation of the induced emf in the loop. The magnetic flux through the loop is determined using the formula phi(flux) = ∫B*dA, where B is the magnetic field inside the solenoid. The user is unsure about the limits for integration, considering the solenoid's field is negligible outside its radius. It is clarified that integration should only occur from 0 to the solenoid's radius of 0.0410 m, as the field outside is very weak. Once the flux is calculated for both currents, the induced emf can be found by taking the difference and dividing by the time interval of 0.225 seconds.

A single-turn circular loop of radius R = 0.197 m is coaxial with a long 1740 turn solenoid of radius 0.0410 m and length 0.890 m, as seen in the figure below. (picture in URL)

The variable resistor is changed so that the solenoid current decreases linearly from 6.81 A to 1.59 A in 0.225 s. Calculate the induced emf in the circular loop. (The field just outside the solenoid is small enough to be negligible.)

phi(flux)= ∫B*dA
ε= dphi/dt
A(circle)=∏r^2
B= N*mu_0_*I/L (solenoid)

I'm having troubles finding the flux through the loop. I tried taking the integral from .0410 to .197 m but I don't think that is right. I know once I get my flux integral i can take the flux at both currents, find the difference between the two, and divide by .225 s to find the induced emf. I just don't know what to integrate over.

Recall that for a long (ideal) solenoid:
1. B is essentially uniform inside the solenoid
2. B is very weak outside the solenoid so that, to a good approximation, you can assume B = 0 outside the solenoid.
 
So would i only integrate from 0 to .0410 then?

Yes.
 
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...
