Question
A circular coil enclosing an area of 100 cm2 ismade of 200 turns of copper wire. The wire makingup the coil has resistance of 5.0 V, and the ends of thewire are connected to form a closed circuit. Initially,a 1.1-T uniform magnetic field points perpendicularlyupward through the plane of the coil. The directionof the field then reverses so that the final magneticfield has a magnitude of 1.1 T and points downwardthrough the coil. If the time required for the field toreverse directions is 0.10 s, what is the average currentin the coil during that time?
Solution
The first step in solving 20 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A circular coil enclosing an area of 100 cm2 ismade of 200 turns of copper wire. The wire makingup the coil has resistance of 5.0 V, and the ends of thewire are connected to form a closed circuit. Initially,a 1.1-T uniform magnetic field points perpendicularlyupward through the plane of the coil. The directionof the field then reverses so that the final magneticfield has a magnitude of 1.1 T and points downwardthrough the coil. If the time required for the field toreverse directions is 0.10 s, what is the average currentin the coil during that time?
