The hood ornament on Abe’s sedan is shaped like a ring 8 cm in diameter. Abe is driving toward
the west so that Earth’s 5.00 x 10 -5 T field provides no flux through the hooded ornament. A.)
What is the induced voltage in the metal ring as Abe turns from this street onto one where is
traveling north, if it takes 3 s to make the turn? B)If the resistance of the coil is 10 ohms, what is
the induced current in the ornament?

A coil with an area of 0.93 m 2 and 628 turns begins parallel to a uniform external magnetic field.
It takes 0.30 s for the coil to rotate so that it makes an angle of 30.0° with the magnetic field. If

the average induced emf is 62 V, what is the strength of the magnetic field?

A VCR plays movies by placing a video head over a magnetic tape. The changing magnetic
fields in the tape induce a current in the coil, which is converted into an electrical signal, which
goes to a television set. Suppose a VCR has a video head made of a 220-turn coil wrapped
around an iron ring with an area of 6.0 ×10 –6 m2 . The head is parallel to a magnetic field that
changes by 9.7 ×10 –4 T in 1.7 ×10 –6 s. What is the induced emf in the coil?

A coil with a wire that is wrapped 40.0 turns around a 0.5 m 2 hollow tube. A uniform magnetic
field is applied perpendicular to the plane of the coil. The field changes uniformly from 0.00 T to
0.95 T in 2.0 s. If the resistance in the coil is 3.0 W, what is the magnitude of the induced current
in the coil?
