A flat coil of wire consisting of 15 turns, each with an area of 40 cm 2, is positioned perpendicularly to a uniform magnetic field that increases its magnitude at a constant rate from 1.5 T to 5.1 T in 2.0 s. If the coil has a total resistance of 0.20 Ω, what is the magnitude of the induced current?

0.54 A

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Number of turns, N = 15

Area of coil, A = 40 cm² = 0.004 m²

Change in magnetic field, ΔB = 5.1 - 1.5 = 3.6 T

Time interval, Δt = 2 secs

Resistance of the coil, R = 0.2 ohms

To get the magnitude of the current, we have to first find the magnitude of the EMF induced in the coil:

|V| = |(-N * ΔB * A) /Δt)

|V| = | (-15 * 3.6 * 0.004) / 2 |

|V| = 0.108 V

According to Ohm's law:

|V| = |I| * R

|I| = |V| / R

|I| = 0.108 / 0.2

|I| = 0.54 A

The magnitude of the current in the coil of wire is 0.54 A
