Photons of light scatter off molecules, and the distance you can see through a gas is proportional to the mean free path of phot
ons through the gas. Photons are not gas molecules, so the mean free path of a photon is not equal to that of a molecule, but its dependence on the number density of the gas and on molecular radius is the same. Suppose you are in a smoggy city and can barely see buildings 500 m away.
(a) How far would you be able to see if all the molecules around you suddenly doubled in volume?
(b) How far would you be able to see if the temperature suddenly rose from 20◦C to a blazing hot 1500◦C with the pressure unchanged?

Explanation:
The area of the circular loop is given by:
The magnetic flux is given by:
is parallel to
and
is constant in magnitude and direction therefore:
Part A)
initially the flux is
after the interval
the flux is
now, the EMF is defined as:
,
if we consider very small then we can re-write it as:
then:
Part B)
When looked down from above, the current flows counter clockwise, according to the right hand rule, if you place your thumb upwards (the direction of the magnetic field) and close your fingers, then the current will flow in the direction of your fingers.
