Thus, after 9.0 seconds, the circumference will be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>C = 165 \\, \\text{cm} &#8211; 12.0 \\, \\text{cm\/s} \\times 9.0 \\, \\text{s} = 165 \\, \\text{cm} &#8211; 108 \\, \\text{cm} = 57.0 \\, \\text{cm}<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, calculate the radius:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>r = \\frac{57.0 \\, \\text{cm}}{2\\pi} = \\frac{57.0}{2\\pi} \\approx 9.07 \\, \\text{cm} = 0.0907 \\, \\text{m}<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Find the change in magnetic flux<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now we can find the area ( A ) of the loop:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>A = \\pi r^2 = \\pi (0.0907 \\, \\text{m})^2 \\approx 0.0259 \\, \\text{m}^2<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, we calculate the magnetic flux at this time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>\\Phi_B = B A = 0.500 \\, \\text{T} \\times 0.0259 \\, \\text{m}^2 = 0.01295 \\, \\text{Wb}<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Calculate the rate of change of magnetic flux<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The rate of change of magnetic flux is related to the rate of change of the area because the magnetic field ( B ) is constant. Since the circumference is decreasing at a constant rate, the area is also decreasing at a constant rate. The rate of change of the area ( \\frac{dA}{dt} ) is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>\\frac{dA}{dt} = \\frac{d}{dt}(\\pi r^2) = 2\\pi r \\frac{dr}{dt}<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rate of change of the radius is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>\\frac{dr}{dt} = \\frac{1}{2\\pi} \\frac{dC}{dt} = \\frac{1}{2\\pi} \\times (-12.0 \\, \\text{cm\/s}) = -\\frac{12.0 \\, \\text{cm\/s}}{2\\pi} \\approx -0.191 \\, \\text{m\/s}<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the rate of change of the area is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>\\frac{dA}{dt} = 2\\pi r \\times \\left(-0.191 \\, \\text{m\/s}\\right) \\approx 2\\pi \\times 0.0907 \\, \\text{m} \\times (-0.191 \\, \\text{m\/s}) \\approx -0.102 \\, \\text{m}^2\/\\text{s}<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, we can find the rate of change of the magnetic flux:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>\\frac{d\\Phi_B}{dt} = B \\frac{dA}{dt} = 0.500 \\, \\text{T} \\times (-0.102 \\, \\text{m}^2\/\\text{s}) = -0.051 \\, \\text{Wb\/s}<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Calculate the induced emf<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we can calculate the induced emf:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>\\mathcal{E} = -\\frac{d\\Phi_B}{dt} = -(-0.051 \\, \\text{V}) = 0.051 \\, \\text{V} = 51.0 \\, \\text{mV}<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Determine the direction of the induced current<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <strong>Lenz&#8217;s Law<\/strong>, the direction of the induced current will oppose the change in flux. Since the magnetic flux through the loop is decreasing as the loop&#8217;s area decreases, the induced current will flow in such a way as to try to increase the magnetic flux. Therefore, the induced current will generate a magnetic field that points in the same direction as the external magnetic field (into the page), meaning the current will flow in a counterclockwise direction when viewed from above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Answer:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The induced emf is ( 51.0 \\, \\text{mV} ).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The direction of the induced current is counterclockwise (when viewed from above).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A circular loop of flexible iron wire has an initial circumference of 165cm , but its circumference is decreasing at a constant rate of 12.0 cm\/s due to a tangential pull on the wire.
