Calculate the charge flowing in the coil if the field is removed

In summary: I think you should have just written out the answer as 0.996 mC.Ok so 1.0 mC :doh:, I thought you had to discount the first zero to begin with in 0.996, my mistake.I think you should have just written out the answer as 0.996 mC.

Calculate the charge flowing in the coil if the magnetic field is removed
Relevant Equations
Faraday's law
Hello

So here is my question

Screenshot 2020-02-18 at 21.04.25.png

Not so sure how to approach this question

This is what I have worked out so far which is the magnetic field strength of the solenoid, not sure if this comes in helpful though

Thanks for any help!

Ignoring the negative sign, start with ##I=\dfrac{1}{R}\dfrac{d\Phi}{dt}##.
Then integrate ##dQ=Idt##.

I'm not so sure about the integrate part

I know that charge Q is I*t, and I used that expression of I that was used before to sub into the integration step giving me this

Be sure. Just write it out and see what you get. Q=I*t only if I is constant in time.

Ok this is most likely wrong :( but I got this when I write it out

I know previously that the magnetic field strength is 15 T from using magnetic flux linkage = BA earlier on

Yes, you did it wrong. You should know better than to cancel ##t## in the numerator with ##dt## in the denominator. At least you didn't cancel only the ##t##'s and leave the ##d## in the denominator. :oldsmile:.

You didn't do what I asked you to do, namely write out the integral.$$\int dQ=\int Idt=\frac{1}{R}\int\frac{d\Phi}{dt}dt=?$$You know the left hand side integrates to the total charge ##Q##. What does the right hand side integrate to and why?

So right hand side integrates to this?

But we aren't given a value of time in the question so how can this help us?

You can cancel the two dt's here:

Also, note that the magnetic field B is given to be .03 T, it is not 15 T.
Φ is "flux", B is "flux density".

Thank you.

So if the two dt's cancel each other out.

That should mean that the total charge flowing is 1/R * (change of flux)?

I get 0.996 millicoulombs to be my answer?

OK. The data is given to 2 significant figures (except for R). What is your answer to 2 significant figures?

It would be 1.00 mC to 2 sig figs

That's 3 significant figures :oldsmile:

Ok so 1.0 mC :doh:, I thought you had to discount the first zero to begin with in 0.996, my mistake
 

Related to Calculate the charge flowing in the coil if the field is removed

1. How do you calculate the charge flowing in a coil?

The charge flowing in a coil can be calculated by multiplying the strength of the magnetic field by the number of turns in the coil and the area of the coil.

2. What is the formula for calculating the charge flowing in a coil?

The formula for calculating the charge flowing in a coil is Q = B * N * A, where Q is the charge, B is the magnetic field strength, N is the number of turns, and A is the area of the coil.

3. Can the charge flowing in a coil be negative?

No, the charge flowing in a coil cannot be negative. It is a scalar quantity and represents the amount of positive charge moving through the coil.

4. Why is it important to calculate the charge flowing in a coil?

Calculating the charge flowing in a coil is important because it helps us understand the behavior of electromagnetic fields and their effects on electric charges.

5. How does removing the magnetic field affect the charge flowing in a coil?

When the magnetic field is removed, the charge flowing in the coil will decrease until it reaches zero. This is because the magnetic field is what causes the charges to move in the first place.
