Answer:
Explanation:
The magnetic field due to straight wire is into the square coil.
As the current in straight wire decreases the magnetic flux in the coil decreases . The induced magnetic field is into the coil.The induced current is along +y direction
Answer: 31.6ft
Explanation:
Check the attachment for the diagram.
According to the right angle triangle AEC, we will use Pythagoras theorem to get |AC|. Note that |AE| = |AB| - |CD|
that is 20ft - 10ft = 10ft
According to the theorem, the square of the sum of the adjacent side and the opposite side is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.
|AE|^2 + |EC|^2 = |AC|^2
10^2 + 30^2 = |AC|^2
100 + 900 = |AC|^2
|AC| = √1000
|AC| = 31.6ft
Therefore, the wire should be anchored 31.6ft to the ground to minimize the amount of wire needed.
