A very small circular metal ring of radius r=0.5cm and resistance 8 Ohm is at the center of a large concentric cicular metal ring of radius R=50 cm, which has resistance of 25 Ohm. The two rings lie in the same plane as shown in figure 2. At t=3s, the large ring carries a clockwise current of 3A, and at t=3.2s, the large ring carries a counterclockwise current of 5A. What is the average current induced in the small ring, what is the direction?

DIRECTIONS: 1. Draw a layout of what is going on in this question 2. Incorporate appropriate laws and equations. (Faradays and Lenzs Law) 3. Find the average current in small ring and its direction.

Revised method: Rearranged equation:

Plugged in values:

Solving for current in the smaller ring using Ohm's law:

was a counterclockwise, so the induced current on the inner ring is clockwise. Answer: Induced current on the inner ring is 1.23*10^-10 A, clockwise.

So I went over Jackie's work and I agree with Danielle that there are a few corrections/comments. For the magnetic field equation, I think there was a pi in the equation when there shouldn't be. Also, as Danielle mentioned we should keep the 1 in the equation and also state that N=1 because the ring has one loop hence N=1.

So I made the corrections in the calculations and got the answer as follows:

Solving for current in the smaller ring using Ohm's law:

Also I just had a thought if we set counterclockwise as postiive and our change in I would be +8 and we get a negative emf and current value.

I was going through it and it seems like you are taking all of the right steps. it might just be me making a mistake or two so correct me if I am wrong, especially Elaine, but I found a few mistakes:

The units make sense in regards to E being in [V] and I being in [A], but when I worked through the problem when you plugged the values back into Faraday's Law, I had some left overs. -1[T(m/A)(A)(m)-T(m/A)(A)(m)]/s>>> the amps would cancel out but then I was left with -1(Tm^2-Tm^2)/s. So Im just a little confused on that part. And then another part was that its looks like you just got rid of the -1 in the beginning of Faraday's equation.
