Question

A square loop of side a shown schematically in Figure 3 is made out of a thin cylindrical conducting wire, whose own radius is r << a and material%u2019s resistivity p. The loop is in the plane perpendicular to the uniform external magnetic field %u03B2 of unknown magnitude B. The loop contains a small device (%u201CQ-meter%u201D) that can measure the charge that passes through it over time. After the magnetic field was turned off, it was noted that the total charge passes through the Q-meter was equal to q. Based on this measurement do you think you would be able to find the original magnitude of B of the magnetic field?

Explanation / Answer

emf = dflux/dt

emf = B A/dt = B pi a^2/dt

emf = I R = I rho Awire/L = I rho pi r^2/(2 pi a) = B pi a^2/dt

but I = q/dt

so

q/dt rho pi r^2/(2 pi a) = B pi a^2/dt

q rho r^2/2 = B pi a^3

q = 2 B pi a^3/( rho r^2)
