Question
A loop of wire is at the edge of a region of space containing a uniform magnetic field B⃗ . The plane of the loop is perpendicular to the magnetic field. Now the loop is pulled out of this region in such a way that the area A of the coil inside the magnetic field region is decreasing at the constant rate c. That is, dAdt=−c, with c>0.

QUESTION:
Part A
The induced emf in the loop is measured to be
. What is the magnitude
of the magnetic field that the loop was in?
Part B
For the case of a square loop of side length
being pulled out of the magnetic field with constant speed
(see the figure), what is the rate of change of area
?
Answer:
Part A:
Part B:
Explanation:
Part A:
Faraday’s law says that the induced voltage is equal to
which in our case(because we have only one loop) becomes
and since the magnetic field is uniform (not changing),
Now, we know that
therefore,
which gives us
Part B:
The area of the loop can be written as
where
is the instantaneous length of the side along which the loop is moving.
Taking the derivative of both sides we get:
and since
we have
where the negative sign indicates that the area is decreasing.
