Question: A square, 2 5 - turn coil that is 1 5 . 0 c m 1 5 . 0 c m ( so 1 5

A square, 25-turn coil that is 15.0cm15.0cm(so 15.0 cm on a side) with a resistance of 0.780 is placed between the poles of a large electromagnet. The electromagnet produces a uniform magnetic field of 0.500 T directed into the page. As suggested by the figure below, the magnetic field drops sharply to zero at the edges of the magnet. The coil moves to the right at a constant velocity of 3.40cms. Indude the current direction in your answers by defining counterclockwise current flowing around the coil as positive and clockwise current as negative.
Hint: this is a Faraday & Lenz problem where the flux change over time shows up in the area of the coil immersed in the magnetic field (length is constant, but the width immersed may change over time).
a. What is the numerical value of the current I1 through the wire coil before the coil reaches the right edge of the field?
b. What is the numerical value of the current I2 through the wire coil while the coil is leaving the magnetic field (perhaps it is half immersed and half outside)?
c. What is the numerical value of the current I3 through the wire coil after the coil completely leaves the magnetic field (no part of it is immersed)?
d. How much charge (total charge magnitude)|Q| flows past a given point in the coil as it leaves the magnetic field? Hints: How is flowing charge related to current? How much time does it take for the coil to completely exit the magnetic field?
