AI Thread Summary
A changing magnetic field induces an emf of 0.76 V and a current of 3.1 A in a circular coil. When the coil is reshaped into a square, the induced emf is calculated to be 0.589 V. The resistance of the coil remains constant, allowing the current to be determined using Ohm's Law. The resulting current in the square coil is approximately 2.40 A. The discussion emphasizes the relationship between emf, current, and resistance when altering the shape of the coil.

Homework Statement


A magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane of a single-turn circular coil. The magnitude of the field is changing, so that an emf of 0.76 V and a current of 3.1 A are induced in the coil. The wire is the re-formed into a single-turn square coil, which is used in the same magnetic field (again perpendicular to the plane of the coil and with a magnitude changing at the same rate). What emf and current are induced in the square coil?

The Attempt at a Solution


i found the emf (.589V) but i can't figure out the current. what do i do?

Well your equation is wrong, it's Ohm's Law, remember

So if you know the voltage and current, you can find the resistance of the coil, which doesn't change. Therefore if you change the voltage(which you've done by reshaping the coil), you can find the current induced
 
2.40a?
 
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...
