A circular region in an $x y$ plane is penetrated by a uniform magnetic field in the positive direction of the $z$ axis. The field's magnitude $B$ (in teslas) increases with time $t($ in seconds ) according to $B=$ at, where $a$ is a constant. The magnitude $E$ of the electric field set up by that increase in the magnetic field is given by Fig. $30-57$ versus radial distance $r ;$ the vertical axis scale is set by $E_{s}=300 \mu \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{C},$ and the horizontal axis scale is set by $r_{j}=4.00 \mathrm{cm} .$ Find $a .$

Key Concepts

Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction

This fundamental law states that a time-varying magnetic field induces an electromotive force (EMF) in a closed loop, with the magnitude of this EMF equal to the negative rate of change of the magnetic flux through the loop. It forms a cornerstone of classical electromagnetism and is mathematically expressed as the line integral of the electric field around a closed path being equal to the negative time derivative of the magnetic flux through the area enclosed by the path.

Magnetic Flux

Magnetic flux is a measure of the total magnetic field passing through a given area, and it is calculated by integrating the magnetic field over that area. Changes in magnetic flux over time are directly related to the induction of electromotive force and are central to understanding how magnetic fields can generate electric fields in electromagnetic induction.

Induced Electric Field

An induced electric field is generated in a region of space when there is a time-varying magnetic field, even in the absence of conductive materials. This non-conservative electric field forms closed loops and its strength is determined by the rate at which the magnetic flux is changing, as dictated by Faraday’s law.

Circular Symmetry in Electromagnetic Induction

When a magnetic field permeates a circular region and varies uniformly with time, the resulting induced electric field exhibits circular symmetry. This symmetry simplifies analysis because it allows one to consider circular paths centered on the same point as the magnetic field, reducing the problem to evaluating the induced field as a function of radial distance from the center.
