    Loop Wire
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the potential difference between two points in a loop of wire subjected to a changing magnetic field. The magnetic field is described by the equation B = gt, with g equal to 0.25 T/s. Participants express confusion about determining the values of t and B(t) needed for calculations. The relevant equation for electromotive force (E) is provided as E = -NA(dB/dt), but users seek clarification on how to derive dB/dt from the given information. The conversation emphasizes the need for equations and guidance rather than complete solutions.

Homework Statement


A 1000-turn loop (radius = 0.037m) of wire is connected to a (20 Ohm) resistor as shown in the figure. A magnetic field is directed perpendicular to the plane of the loop. The field points into the paper and has a magnitude that varies in time as B=gt, where g=0.25 T/s. Neglect the resistance of the wire.

What is the magnitude of the potential difference between points a and b?



Homework Equations



equation is E = -NA ((dB(t))/dt) but how do u find what t and what is B(t)?

The Attempt at a Solution


cant attempt cause i don't know what t and B(t) are

PLEASE HELP!

You were give B=gt. You have the value of 'g'. I think you can easily find dB/dt.
 
ok well i don't remember how to find B with what is given to me. sorry. if you can just give me some equations i can do the work. not asking for u to do the work for me

B=gt...dB/dt :confused:

B=0.25t...dB/dt = ?


B=t2,dB/dt = 2t

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 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
