Physics 212 Problem Set #7 Solutions

This document is a physics problem set containing 9 problems related to electromagnetic induction. Problem 1 asks the student to calculate the magnetic flux through a circular area with a non-perpendicular magnetic field. Problem 2 asks the student to calculate the induced EMF between the wing tips of a jet plane flying through the Earth's magnetic field. Problem 3 asks the student to calculate the average induced EMF as a wire is bent into a circle that shrinks to zero area over time.
