Magnetic Flux through a Coil
You hold a wire coil so that the plane of the coil is perpendicular to a magnetic field B⃗ .
Part A
If the magnitude of B⃗ increases while its direction remains unchanged, how will the magnetic flux through the coil change?
Check all that apply.
Hint 1. How to approach the problem

Recall that the magnetic flux depends on the magnetic field magnitude, the area of the coil, and the angle between
the magnetic field and the coil's axis. Since the area of the coil and the direction of the magnetic field are unchanged,
the flux through the coil can be affected only by the change in the magnitude of the magnetic field. Use the definition
of magnetic flux to determine how the flux changes as a function of magnitude of the magnetic field.
Hint 2. Magnetic flux
The magnetic flux ΦB depends on the magnitude of the magnetic field B, the area A of the coil, and the angle ϕ
between the magnetic field and the coil's axis. Mathematically, this relationship is expressed as
ΦB = BA cos ϕ .
ANSWER:
The flux is unchanged because the position of the coil with respect to B⃗ is unchanged.
The flux increases because the magnitude of B⃗ increases.
The flux decreases because the magnitude of B⃗ increases.
The flux is unchanged because the surface area of the coil is unchanged.
Correct
The magnetic flux through a coil is directly proportional to the magnitude of the magnetic field.
Part B
⃗
B is kept constant but the coil is rotated so that the magnetic field, B⃗ , is now in the plane of the coil. How will the magnetic
flux through the coil change as the rotation occurs?

3/17/2019 Homework #11 (phy 112)
Recall that the magnetic flux depends on the magnitude of the magnetic field, the area of the coil, and the angle
between the magnetic field and the coil's axis. Since the area of the coil and the magnitude of the magnetic field are
unchanged, the magnetic flux through the coil can be affected only by the change in the angle between the coil's axis
and the magnetic field due to the change in orientation of the coil. Use the definition of magnetic flux to determine
how the flux changes as a function of this angle.

The magnetic flux ΦB depends on the magnitude of the magnetic field B, the area A of the coil, and the angle ϕ
between the magnetic field and the coil's axis. Mathematically, this relationship is expressed as
ΦB = BA cos ϕ .
Hint 3. Find the cosines of the angles
Let ϕ1 denote the angle between the coil's axis and the magnetic field when the coil is perpendicular to the field, and
let ϕ2 denote the angle between the coil's axis and the magnetic field when the coil is parallel to the field. What are
the values of cos ϕ1 and cos ϕ2 ?
Enter your answers numerically, separated by a comma.

ANSWER:
cos ϕ1 , cos ϕ2 = 1,0
ANSWER:
The flux is unchanged because the magnitude of B⃗ is constant.
The flux increases because the angle between B⃗ and the coil's axis changes.
The flux decreases because the angle between B⃗ and the coil's axis changes.
The flux is unchanged because the area of the coil is unchanged.
Correct
As the orientation of the coils changes, the magnetic flux through the coil decreases. It reaches its minimum value
(zero) when the coil is parallel to the field.
A message from your instructor...
Note the bar magnets in these figures for this problem (and in much of the rest of this assignment) omit the magnetic field lines.
It will be useful to review what the field lines look like for a bar magnet.
A Magnet and a Coil
When a magnet is plunged into a coil at speed v , as shown in the figure, a voltage is induced in the coil and a current flows in
the circuit.
3/17/2019 Homework #11 (phy 112)
Part A
If the speed of the magnet is doubled, the induced voltage is ________ .

Recall that the magnitude of the induced emf in a circuit equals the absolute value of the time rate of change of the
magnetic flux through the circuit. As the magnet moves toward the coil, the flux through the coil increases because
the magnitude of the magnetic field through the center of the coil increases. The faster the magnet moves toward the
coil, the faster the flux through the coil increases.
ANSWER:
twice as great
four times as great
half as great
unchanged
Correct
Part B
The same magnet is plunged into a coil that has twice the number of turns as before. The magnet is shown before it enters
the coil in the figure. If the speed of the magnet is again v , the induced current in the coil is _______ .
3/17/2019 Homework #11 (phy 112)
Recall that the current in the coil is proportional to the induced emf and inversely proportional to the resistance of the
coil. Do the induced emf and the resistance of the coil vary when the number of turns in the coil is doubled?
Hint 2. Find the induced emf in the coil

If the number of turns in the coil is doubled, how does the induced emf E in the coil change?
Hint 1. Induced emf
In a coil with several identical turns, the induced emf due to the change in magnetic flux is proportional to the
number of turns in the coil.
ANSWER:
E decreases by a factor of 1/2.
E increases by a factor of 2.
E increases by a factor of 4.
E is unchanged.
Hint 3. Find the resistance of the coil
If the number of turns in the coil is doubled, how does the resistance R of the coil change? Note that the turns in the
coil can be thought of as resistors connected in series.
Hint 1. Resistors in series

Recall that the equivalent resistance of a series connection of resistors is equal to the sum of the resistances
of all the resistors. Therefore, if the resistors in the circuit are all identical, if the number of turns doubles, the
equivalent resistance doubles as well.
ANSWER:
3/17/2019 Homework #11 (phy 112)
The resistance decreases by a factor of 1/2.
The resistance increases by a factor of 2.
The resistance increases by a factor of 4.
The resistance is unchanged.
Hint 4. Induced current
By Ohm's law, the current in the coil is given by the ratio of the induced emf to the resistance of the coil. When the
number of turns in the coil doubles, both the induced emf and the coil's resistance double as well. Therefore, what
will their ratio be in this case?
ANSWER:
twice as great
four times as great
half as great
unchanged
Correct
By increasing the number of turns in the coil, the induced emf increases, but so does the resistance of the coil.
Since those two quantities increase by the same factor, their ratio remains constant, and the induced current in the
circuit is unchanged.
The hints for the next problem will help you to develop a pattern of thinking about these types of problems (appliation of
Faraday's/Lenz's law). Have a look at them.
Induced Current in a Metal Loop Conceptual Question
For each of the actions depicted below, a magnet and/or metal loop moves with velocity v ⃗ (v ⃗ is constant and has the same
magnitude in all parts). Determine whether a current is induced in the metal loop. If so, indicate the direction of the current in the
loop, either clockwise or counterclockwise when seen from the right of the loop. The axis of the magnet is lined up with the
center of the loop.
Part A
For the action depicted in the figure, indicate the direction of the induced current in the loop (clockwise, counterclockwise or
zero, when seen from the right of the loop).
3/17/2019 Homework #11 (phy 112)
Magnetic flux is the product of the component of magnetic field perpendicular to a given area and the area itself.
Conceptually, it is proportional to the number of magnetic field lines passing through a given area.
Hint 2. Induction and changing flux

Whenever magnetic flux through an area changes, an electromotive force (emf) is created around the area. This
induced emf has a direction such that if a conductor is present, current will flow to create a secondary magnetic field
that opposes the change in the original magnetic flux. Basically, the induced current will "try" to maintain the initial
value of the magnetic flux.
Hint 3. How to find the direction of the magnetic field produced by a loop
To determine the direction of the magnetic field produced by a current in a loop, use the right-hand rule: curl the
fingers of your right hand in the direction of the current; your thumb will point in the direction of the magnetic field
produced by the loop.

increases
decreases
stays the same
Hint 6. Induced magnetic field

Since the magnetic flux is increasing with the field directed to the left, current will flow in the loop to create a
magnetic field oriented to the right to oppose this increase in flux. Now, to create a field directed to the right,
determine the direction in which current must flow through the loop.
ANSWER:
clockwise
counterclockwise
zero
Correct
Part B
For the action depicted in the figure, indicate the direction of the

As the magnet is moved away from the loop, does the magnetic flux through the loop increase, decrease, or stay the
same?
ANSWER:
increases

Since the magnetic flux is decreasing, with the field directed to the right, current will flow in the loop to create a

ANSWER:
clockwise
counterclockwise
zero
Correct
Part C
For the action depicted in the figure, indicate the direction of the induced current in the loop (clockwise, counterclockwise or

Pay careful attention to the way the wires are wrapped around the core.
Induced Current in a Pair of Solenoids Conceptual Question
For each of the actions depicted, determine the direction (right, left, or zero) of the current induced to flow through the resistor in
the circuit containing the secondary coil. The coils are wrapped around a plastic core.
Part A
Immediately after the switch is closed, as shown in the figure, in
which direction does the current flow through the resistor?
Magnetic flux is the product of the component of magnetic field perpendicular to a given area and the area itself.
Conceptually, it is proportional to the number of magnetic field lines passing through a given area.
3/17/2019 Homework #11 (phy 112)
Hint 2. Electromagnetic induction
Whenever magnetic flux through an area changes, an electromotive force (emf) is created around the area. This
induced emf has a direction such that if a conductor is present, current will flow to create a secondary magnetic field
that opposes the change in the original magnetic flux. Basically, the induced current will "try" to maintain the initial
value of the magnetic flux.
Hint 3. Magnetic field produced by a coil

The magnetic field produced by a coil has the same directional properties as the field produced by a single loop. To
determine the direction of the magnetic field produced by a current in a coil, use the right-hand rule for magnetic
fields: Curl the finger of your right hand in the direction of the current flowing through the loop; your thumb now points
in the direction of the magnetic field produced by the coil.
Hint 4. Find the direction of the magnetic field through the secondary coil
Initially, there is no magnetic field through the secondary coil (the coil connect to the resistor). After the switch is
closed, current flows through the primary coil and a magnetic field is produced through both coils. Does the magnetic
field that passes through the secondary coil point to the right or to the left?
ANSWER:
right
left

Since the magnetic field in the secondary coil changed from zero to a leftward-directed field when the switch was
closed, the magnetic flux through the secondary coil has increased. Thus, current will flow in the secondary coil to
create a magnetic field oriented to the right to oppose this increase in flux. Therefore, you need to determine the
direction in which current must flow through the secondary coil, and thus the resistor, to create a field through the
secondary coil directed to the right. Use the right-hand rule for magnetic fields to find the direction of this current.
ANSWER:
right
left
zero
Correct
Part B
If the switch is then opened, as shown in the figure, in which direction does the current flow through the resistor?
3/17/2019 Homework #11 (phy 112)
Hint 1. Find the direction of the magnetic field through the secondary coil before the switch is opened
Before the switch is opened, does the magnetic field that passes through the secondary coil point to the right or to
the left?
Hint 1. Right-hand rule for magnetic fields

To find the direction of the magnetic field produced by a current flowing through a loop, curl the finger of your
right hand in the direction of the current in the loop. Your thumb will point in the direction of the magnetic field
produced by the coil.
ANSWER:
right
left

Since the magnetic field in the secondary coil changed from a leftward-directed field to zero when the switch was
opened, the magnetic flux through the secondary coil had decreased. Thus, current will flow in the secondary loop to
create a magnetic field oriented to the left to replace this decrease in flux. Therefore, you need to determine the
direction in which current must flow through the secondary coil, and thus the resistor, to create a field directed to the
left. Use the right-hand rule for magnetic fields to find the direction of this current.
ANSWER:
right
left
zero
Correct
3/17/2019 Homework #11 (phy 112)
Part C
Immediately after the switch is closed, as shown in the figure, in
which direction does the current flow through the resistor?
ANSWER:
right
left
zero
Correct
In Part D, the left coil (only) is moving to the left with velocity v .⃗
Part D
If the circuit containing the battery moves to the left, as shown in the figure, in which direction does the current flow through
the resistor?
Hint 1. Find how the magnetic flux through the secondary changes
3/17/2019 Homework #11 (phy 112)
If the primary coil (the coil connected to the battery) moves to the left, how does the magnetic flux through the
secondary coil change?
ANSWER:
It decreases.
It increases.
It remains constant.

Since the magnetic field in the secondary coil became weaker when the source of the field (the primary coil) moved
away, the magnetic flux through the secondary coil has decreased. Thus, current will flow in the secondary loop to
create a magnetic field oriented in the same direction (to the left) as the original field to replace this decrease in flux.
Therefore, you need to determine the direction in which current must flow through the secondary coil, and thus the
resistor, to create a field to the left. Use the right-hand rule for magnetic fields to find the direction of this current.
ANSWER:
right
left
zero
Correct
Magnetic Flux and Induced EMF in a Coil
A coil has 180 turns enclosing an area of 10.9 cm2 . In a physics laboratory experiment, the coil is rotated during the time
interval 4.70×10−2 s from a position in which the plane of each turn is perpendicular to Earth's magnetic field to one in which the
plane of each turn is parallel to the field. The magnitude of Earth's magnetic field at the lab location is 5.40×10−5 T .
Part A
What is the magnitude Φinitial of the magnetic flux through one turn of the coil before it is rotated?
Hint 1. Formula for the magnetic flux through a wire loop

The formula for the magnetic flux (Φ1 ) through one wire loop is
⃗ ⃗
Φ1 = B ⋅ A = BA cos(ϕ) ,
⃗ ⃗
where is the magnetic field through the loop, A is the area vector of the loop, and ϕ is the angle between the
B
magnetic field and the area vector.
Note that the area vector of the loop is normal to the plane of the loop. As a result, there are two possible initial
orientations with respect to the magnetic field (parallel and antiparallel). Either choice is acceptable, as long as one
maintains consistency throughout the problem. In this problem we will deal with magnitudes, so the initial orientation
will not be an issue.
3/17/2019 Homework #11 (phy 112)
Hint 2. The initial angle between the magnetic field and the area vector
The initial angle between the magnetic field and the area vector can be taken to be either 0 degrees (area vector
parallel to the magnetic field) or 180 degrees (area vector antiparallel to the magnetic field), since the plane of the
coil is perpendicular to the magnetic field. Either number is correct as long as one maintains consistency with the
choice of area vector.
ANSWER:
|Φinitial | = 5.89×10−8
Correct
Part B
What is the magnitude Φf inal of the magnetic flux through one turn of the coil after it is rotated?
Hint 1. The angle between the magnetic field and the area vector
The angle between the magnetic field and the area vector after rotation is 90 degrees, since the plane of the coil is
parallel to the magnetic field and the area vector is normal to the plane of the coil.
ANSWER:
|Φf inal | = 0
Correct
Part C
What is the magnitude of the average emf induced in the entire coil?
If a symbolic answer is required, your expression must include B, A, and any other variables.
Hint 1. Formula for the average emf induced in a coil (Faraday's law)
ΔΦ 1
The formula for the average emf E induced in a coil is E = −N ,where ΔΦ1 is the change in magnetic flux
Δt
through each loop, N is the total number of loops, and Δt is the time interval over which this change occurs.
ANSWER:
average induced emf = 2.25×10−4
Correct
3/17/2019 Homework #11 (phy 112)
Conceptual Induction
A loop of wire is initially held above a short solenoid. A constant counterclockwise (as viewed from above) current I passes
through the turns of the solenoid.
The loop of wire is steadily lowered, eventually "encircling" the solenoid.
Throughout this problem, when you answer questions about the

direction of current, assume that you are viewing the wire loop from
above, looking downward.
Part A
What is the direction of the induced current in the loop when the loop is above the solenoid, moving downward?
Hint 1. Using Lenz's law

The current in the solenoid generates a magnetic field and therefore a magnetic flux passing through the loop. As the
wire loop approaches the solenoid, the flux increases. A current is induced in the loop. According to Lenz's law, the
flux produced by the induced current must oppose the change in flux due to the solenoid's magnetic field.
Hint 2. Using Faraday's law

You can also think about this problem in terms of Faraday's law. According to this law, the induced emf E that
ΔΦ
produces current in the loop of area A is given by E = − , where Φ = BA cos θ is the magnetic flux through
Δt
the loop created by a magnetic field of magnitude B oriented at an angle of θ relative to the loop. (Note that in this
problem θ = 180 degrees so Φ = −BA).
If the magnetic flux is increasing, then the emf is such that it produces the current whose induced magnetic field is in
the opposite direction to that of B⃗ . If the magnetic flux is decreasing, then the induced field is in the direction of B⃗ .
ANSWER:
clockwise
counterclockwise
no current
Correct
3/17/2019 Homework #11 (phy 112)
Part B
What is the direction of the induced current at the instant that the loop is at the midpoint of the solenoid and still moving
downward?
Hint 1. Applying Lenz's law

As the loop approaches the solenoid from above, the number of magnetic field lines passing through the loop due to
the magnetic field of the solenoid increases. (The number of magnetic field lines passing through the loop represents
the magnitude of the magnetic flux through the loop.)
The number of magnetic field lines passing through the loop continues to increase until the loop arrives at the
midpoint of the solenoid. Once the loop travels beyond the solenoid's midpoint, the number of magnetic field lines
passing through the loop begins to decrease. Therefore, when the loop is exactly at the midpoint of the solenoid, the
number of magnetic field lines passing through the loop must be neither increasing nor decreasing. At the instant the
wire loop is at the midpoint of the solenoid, there is no change in magnetic flux through the loop.
ANSWER:
clockwise
counterclockwise
no current
Correct
Part C
What is the direction of the induced current when the loop is below the solenoid and moving downward?
ANSWER:
clockwise
counterclockwise
no current
Correct
Faraday's Law and Induced Emf
Learning Goal:
To understand the terms in Faraday's law and to be able to identify the magnitude and direction of induced emf.
Faraday's law states that induced emf is directly proportional to the time rate of change of magnetic flux. Mathematically, it can
be written as
ΔΦ B
E=− ,
Δt
3/17/2019 Homework #11 (phy 112)
where E is the emf induced in a closed loop, and
ΔΦ B
Δt
is the rate of change of the magnetic flux through a surface bounded by the loop. For uniform magnetic fields the magnetic flux is
⃗ ⃗
given by ΦB = B ⋅ A = BA cos(θ) , where θ is the angle between the magnetic field B⃗ and the normal to the surface of area
A.
To find the direction of the induced emf, one can use Lenz's law:
The induced current's magnetic field opposes the change in the magnetic flux that induced the current.
For example, if the magnetic flux through a loop increases, the induced magnetic field is directed opposite to the "parent"
magnetic field, thus countering the increase in flux. If the flux decreases, the induced current's magnetic field has the same
direction as the parent magnetic field, thus countering the decrease in flux.
Recall that to relate the direction of the electric current and its magnetic field, you can use the right-hand rule: When the fingers
on your right hand are curled in the direction of the current in a loop, your thumb gives the direction of the magnetic field
generated by this current.
In this problem, we will consider a rectangular loop of wire with sides x and y placed in a region where a uniform magnetic field
⃗
B exists as shown in . The resistance of the loop is R. For the
purposes of this problem we will assume that the area vector A⃗ points
out of the page.
Initially, the field is perpendicular to the plane of the loop and is

directed out of the page. The loop can rotate about either the vertical
or horizontal axis, passing through the midpoints of the opposite
sides, as shown.
Part A
Which of the following changes would induce an electromotive force (emf) in the loop? When you consider each option,
assume that no other changes occur.

ANSWER:
The magnitude of B⃗ increases.
The magnitude of B⃗ decreases.
The loop rotates about the vertical axis (vertical dotted line) shown in the diagram.
The loop rotates about the horizontal axis (horizontal dotted line) shown in the diagram.
The loop moves to the right while remaining in the plane of the page.
The loop moves toward you, out of the page, while remaining parallel to itself.
3/17/2019 Homework #11 (phy 112)
Correct
Part B
Find the flux ΦB through the loop.
Express your answer in terms of x, y, and B.
ANSWER:
ΦB = B(xy)
Correct
Part C
If the magnetic field steadily decreases from B to zero during a time interval t, what is the magnitude E of the induced emf?
Express your answer in terms of x, y, B, and t.
What is the total change in magnetic flux ΔΦB during this time interval?
Express your answer in terms of x, y, and B.
ANSWER:
ΔΦB = −Bxy
ANSWER:
Bxy
E =
t
Correct
Part D
If the magnetic field steadily decreases from B to zero during a time interval t, what is the magnitude I of the induced
current?
Express your answer in terms of x, y, B, t, and the resistance R of the wire.

ANSWER:
Bxy
I =
Rt
3/17/2019 Homework #11 (phy 112)
Correct
Part E
If the magnetic field steadily decreases from B to zero during a time interval t, what is the direction of the induced current?
ANSWER:
clockwise
counterclockwise
Correct
The flux decreases, so the induced magnetic field must be in the same direction as the original (parent) magnetic
field. Therefore, the induced magnetic field is out of the page. Using the right-hand rule, we deduce that the
direction of the current is counterclockwise.
Part F
Which of the following changes would result in a clockwise emf in the loop? When you consider each option, assume that no
other changes occur.
ANSWER:
The magnitude of B⃗ increases.
The magnitude of B⃗ decreases.
The loop rotates through 45 degrees about the vertical axis (vertical dotted line) shown in the diagram.
The loop rotates through 45 degrees about the horizontal axis (horizontal dotted line) shown in the diagram.
The loop moves to the right while remaining in the plane of the page.
The loop moves toward you, out of the page, while remaining parallel to itself.
Correct
Clockwise emf implies that the induced magnetic field is directed into the page. Therefore, the magnetic flux of the
original field must be increasing. Only the first option corresponds to increasing flux.
Again, pay careful attention to the way the wires are wrapped around the core.
