Problem 3.305

A plane loop shown in Fig. 3.91 is shaped as two squares with sides a=20 cma=20 \mathrm{~cm} and b=10 cmb=10 \mathrm{~cm} and is introduced into a uniform magnetic field at right angles to the loop's plane. The magnetic induction varies with time as B=B0B=B_{0} sin \omegat, where B0=10mTB_{0}=10 \mathrm{mT} and ω=100 s1\omega=100 \mathrm{~s}^{-1}. Find the amplitude of the current induced in the loop if its resistance per unit length is equal to ρ=\rho= 50 mΩ/m.50 \mathrm{~m} \Omega / \mathrm{m} . The inductance of the loop is to be neglected.
