Need some confirmation regarding induced currents

AI Thread Summary
When the switch is closed in the first coil, there is initially no induced voltage in the second coil because the current is still zero at that exact moment. The first coil resists changes in current, meaning that the magnetic flux in the second coil does not change instantaneously. As the current begins to increase in the first coil, the magnetic field also starts to rise, leading to an increasing magnetic flux in the second coil over time. Therefore, at the precise moment the switch is closed, the second coil experiences no induced voltage. This understanding clarifies the relationship between the timing of the switch closure and the induced currents in the coils.

TL;DR Summary: if there are 2 coils, one with a switch and a battery. If the switch is closed, exactly at that moment when the switch is closed, there is no induced voltage in the other coil, am I correct?

In this image, exactly at the moment when we close the switch, there should only be induced voltage in the first coil (left coil), am I right? That's because the coil resists any changes in current so at t = 0, there is no current in the left circuit, thus, there is no change in magnetic flux in the second coil. Am I correct in my reasoning?

I am asking this because there was a question about this, and there was no choice saying that voltage is only induced the first coil.

Please explain what you understand the state of the switch to be when you say "exactly at the moment when we close the switch." Is the switch open or closed at that "exact" moment? It's a binary choice: 0 or 1. Let's explore each choice. We assume that there is some resistance in the coils.

0 = switch open. Nothing has changed. There is no current anywhere and no magnetic field anywhere.

1 = switch closed. The current in the primary coil (on the left) is zero but is increasing. The magnetic field in the primary is proportional to the current, also zero and increasing. In the secondary coil (on the right) the flux from the primary is zero and increasing. (We assume that the coils are close enough to ignore the transit time of the EM signal from the left coil to the right.)

Does this resolve your question?
 
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...
