1 Common Exam Department of Physics University of Utah August 28, 2004 Examination booklets have been provided for recording your work and your solutions. Please note that there is a separate booklet for each numbered question (i.e., use booklet #1 for problem #1, etc.). To receive full credit, not only should the correct solutions be given, but a sufficient number of steps should be given so that a faculty grader can follow your reasoning. Define all algebraic symbols that you introduce. If you are short of time it may be helpful to give a clear outline of the steps you intended to complete to reach a solution. In some of the questions with multiple parts you will need the answer to an earlier part in order to work a later part. If you fail to solve the earlier part you may represent its answer with an algebraic symbol and proceed to give an algebraic answer to the later part. This is a closed book exam: No notes, books, or other records should be consulted. YOU MAY ONLY USE THE CALCULATORS PROVIDED. The total of 250 points is divided equally among the ten questions of the examination. All work done on scratch paper should be NEATLY transferred to answer booklet. SESSION 1

25 Problem 6 - Electricity and Magnetism The figure below shows a small circular wire loop of radius a placed at the center of a large circular loop of radius r. The symmetry axis of the small loop is tilted at angle to that of the large loop. For parts (a) and (b), a current of I(t) = I 0 exp - t/ is circulating through the large loop.

[8 pts.] Find the EMF v(t) induced in the small loop as a function of time by the current in part (a).
