Problem Solving Electromagnetic Induction

The document describes a problem involving calculating induced emf and current using Faraday's law and Lenz's law. A coil with 25 turns is wrapped around a square frame and placed in a changing magnetic field. It gives the details of the coil, the changing magnetic field, and asks to (a) calculate the induced emf using the change in magnetic flux, and (b) calculate the induced current using the induced emf and the coil's resistance. The strategy is to use Faraday's law to find the change in magnetic flux, then use that to find the induced emf, and finally use Ohm's law along with Lenz's law to determine the direction of the induced current.

GOAL: Calculate magnetic flux and a change in flux.

PROBLEM: A conducting circular loop of radius 0.250 m is placed in the xy-plane in a uniform magnetic field
of 0.360 T that points in the positive 2-direction, the same direction as the normal to the plane. (a) Calculate the
magnetic flux through the loop (b) Suppose the loop is rotated clockwise around the x-axis, so the normal
direction now points at a 45.0° angle with respect to the z-axis. Recalculate the magnetic flux through the loop.
(c) What is the change in flux due to the rotation of the loop?
STRATEGY: After finding the area, substitute values into the equation for magnetic flux for each part.
Because the normal direction was chosen to be the same direction as the magnetic field, the angle between the
magnetic field and the normal is initially 0°. After the rotation, that angle becomes 45.0°.

GOAL: Calculate an induced emf and current with Faraday's law and apply Lenz's law when the magnetic field
changes with time.

PROBLEM: A coil with 25 turns of wire is wrapped on a frame with a square cross section 1.80 cm on a side.
Each turn has the same area, equal to that of the frame, and the total resistance of the coil is 0.350 Ω. An applied
uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane of the coil, as in Figure 20.7. (a) If the field changes
uniformly from 0.00 T to 0.500 T in 0.800s, what is the induced emf in the coil while the field is changing? Find
(b) the magnitude induced current in the coil.

STRATEGY: Part (a) requires substituting into Faraday's law Equation. The necessary information is given,
except for Δ ΦB, the change in the magnetic flux during the elapsed time. Using the normal direction to
coincide with the positive z-axis, compute initial and final magnetic fluxes with Faraday's law Equation, find the
difference, and assemble all terms in Faraday's law Equation. The current then be found with Ohm's law, and its
direction with Lenz's law.
