A policeman is chasing a criminal across a rooftop at 10 m/s. He decides to jump to the next building which is 2 meters across f
rom the original and 2.5 meters lower. How long (in seconds) will it take him to cross between buildings?

The emf induced in the second coil is given by:
V = -M(di/dt)
V = emf, M = mutual indutance, di/dt = change of current in the first coil over time
The current in the first coil is given by:
i = i₀
i₀ = 5.0A, a = 2.0×10³s⁻¹
i = 5.0e^(-2.0×10³t)
Calculate di/dt by differentiating i with respect to t.
di/dt = -1.0×10⁴e^(-2.0×10³t)
Calculate a general formula for V. Givens:
M = 32×10⁻³H, di/dt = -1.0×10⁴e^(-2.0×10³t)
Plug in and solve for V:
V = -32×10⁻³(-1.0×10⁴e^(-2.0×10³t))
V = 320e^(-2.0×10³t)
We want to find the induced emf right after the current starts to decay. Plug in t = 0s:
V = 320e^(-2.0×10³(0))
V = 320e^0
V = 320 volts
We want to find the induced emf at t = 1.0×10⁻³s:
V = 320e^(-2.0×10³(1.0×10⁻³))
V = 43 volts
