To understand the interaction between the wire loops and solenoids in section I. we can use the idea that a force is exerted on a charged particle moving in a magnetic field. In each of those cases there was an induced current when there was relative motion between the solenoid and the wire loop. In other situations such as the one above, however, there is an induced current in the wire loop even though there is no relative motion between the wire loop and the solenoid. There is a general rule called Lenz’ law that we can use in all cases to predict the direction of the induced current
B. Discuss the statement of Lenz’ law in your textbook with your partners. Make sure you understand how it is related to the statement by the student with whom you agreed in part D of section I.

The rails are separated by a distance d. A battery that maintainsa constant emf ε is connected between the rails, and a constant magnetic field B is directed out of thepage. Assuming the rod starts from rest at time t = 0, find its velocity in terms of time t, ε, B, d, m,and R.arrow_forwardConsider a large loop with radius b. Positioned directly above its center is the center of a small loop with radius a. The planes in which they lie are parallel to each other. If a current I flows through the small loop, what will be the flux through the big loop? Hint: You may treat the small loop as a magnetic dipole or invoke mutual inductances if this problem is too difficult.arrow_forward
