A flat loop of area 0.0200 m^2 is in a 0.300 T uniform field. Its normal is 60.0 degrees to the field. Find flux through the loop.

A proton moves at 2.00e6 m s^-1 perpendicular to a 0.500 T field in vacuum. Find its circular radius and explain why speed stays constant. Use m = 1.67e-27 kg and q = 1.60e-19 C; neglect relativistic effects.

Flux through each turn of a 200-turn coil decreases uniformly from 0.00600 Wb to 0.00100 Wb in 0.0500 s. Find induced emf magnitude. Explain Lenz's law for the induced current if the circuit is closed.

Parallel rails are 0.400 m apart. A conducting rod spans them perpendicularly and slides along them at 3.00 m s^-1, with the rod perpendicular to its motion. A uniform 0.500 T field is normal to the rail plane. The closed circuit has total resistance 2.00 ohm. Find emf, current, magnetic drag and external power for constant speed. Neglect friction and self-inductance.

A 100-turn coil of area 0.0100 m^2 rotates uniformly at 50.0 Hz in a uniform 0.200 T field about a fixed axis in the coil plane and perpendicular to the field. Its normal aligns with the field at t = 0. Find peak emf, rms emf and the first positive time of peak magnitude. Neglect losses; give 3 significant figures.
