EMF in bigger loops kept on both sides of a small loop

In summary, the conversation discusses a modification regarding two big loops placed on either side of a small loop at a distance a from the corresponding end of the small loop. The flux through the bigger loop is equal to the flux through the smaller loop, assuming the current through the bigger loop is I. The conversation also mentions using the formula M=(flux in one loop caused by current in another loop)/that current to find the mutual inductance.

Homework Statement

Modification: Take two big loops kept on both sides of the small loop at a distance a from the corresponding end of the small loop.

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution



The flux through the bigger loop is equal to the flux through the smaller loop, provided that the current through the bigger loop is I.
Let's say that the current I is in the left bigger loop.
Then, the flux through the small loop = ##\frac { \mu_0 I a \ln 2 }{2 \pi}##
So, the emf is ξ = - ##\frac { \mu_0 ka \ln 2 }{2 \pi}##
Is this correct so far?

What was the need for all this??
This seems to be a question related to mutual inductance.
You should know that emf induced will be equal to M×di/dt
You have been given di/dt
You just need to find M.
For doing that,you may use the formula M=(flux in anyone loop caused due to current in another loop)/that current
How to apply this formula..well,that's where the trick usually lies in these questions..

Related to EMF in bigger loops kept on both sides of a small loop

1. What is EMF in relation to loops?

EMF stands for electromagnetic field and refers to the electric and magnetic fields that are created by the flow of electricity through a conductor. In this case, the loops are acting as conductors and the EMF is created by the current flowing through them.

2. How does the size of the bigger loops affect EMF in the smaller loop?

The size of the bigger loops can affect the strength of the EMF in the smaller loop. The larger the bigger loops, the stronger the EMF will be in the smaller loop. This is because the bigger loops have more surface area for the current to flow through, creating a stronger EMF.

3. Why is it important to have bigger loops on both sides of the smaller loop?

Having bigger loops on both sides of the smaller loop helps to create a more uniform and consistent EMF. This is because it provides a balanced distribution of the electric and magnetic fields, resulting in a stronger and more stable EMF in the smaller loop.

4. What factors can affect the EMF in the smaller loop?

Aside from the size of the bigger loops, other factors that can affect the EMF in the smaller loop include the strength of the current flowing through the loops, the distance between the loops, and the material and shape of the loops themselves. Additionally, external factors such as the presence of other electromagnetic fields can also impact the EMF.

5. How can EMF in bigger loops be used in practical applications?

The EMF created by bigger loops can be harnessed and used in various applications, such as in generators to produce electricity, in motors to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, and in wireless charging systems. It can also be used in scientific research and experiments, as well as in medical imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
