The problem: A single 0. 10 m x 0.10 m square loop is between the poles of a large electromagnet. The surface of the loop makes a 53-degree angle with respect to the magnetic field. The magnetic field varies as shown in the illustration. Determine the induced emf produced by the loop.
Proposed solution:
Sketch and translate
See the drawing at the right.
Simplify and diagram
The magnetic flux Ф through the loop increases as the magnetic field increases (see the graph). The emf has the same shape, only with a negative sign (the lower graph line).
Represent mathematically and solve
a. Identify any errors in the solution.
b. Provide a correct solution if there are errors.
