Question

A patient is having a magnetic resonance imaging scan (an MRI) and has neglected to remove a circular, metallic bracelet. The resistance of the bracelet is 0.0205 . The magnetic field within the MRI's solenoid is perpendicular to the opening of his bracelet. While taking the scan, the magnetic field decreases from 1.47 T to 0.35 T in 0.900 seconds. If the magnitude of the average induced current in the bracelet during this time interval is 0.2250 A, what is the area of the opening of the circular bracelet?

Explanation / Answer

the average induced current in the bracelet is 0.2250 A
i = /R

= 0.2250*0.0205 =0.0046125 volts

emf induction :

= -A dB/dt =-A(0.35-1.47)/0.9 = A*1.24

A= 0.0037 m^2

the area of the opening of the circular bracelet 0.0037 m^2.
