Paper 4, Section I, B
Define the notions of magnetic flux, electromotive force and resistance, in the context of a single closed loop of wire. Use the Maxwell equation
to derive Faraday's law of induction for the loop, assuming the loop is at rest.
Suppose now that the magnetic field is where is a constant, and that the loop of wire, with resistance , is a circle of radius a lying in the plane. Calculate the current in the wire as a function of time.
Explain briefly why, even in a time-independent magnetic field, an electromotive force may be produced in a loop of wire that moves through the field, and state the law of induction in this situation.
