This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science
related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should
explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments
should further the discussion of math and science.
When posting on Brilliant:
Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

The final flux you calculated is not correct. But you are not on the wrong track. I will share my solution after some time. This is a very nice conceptual question. I do not know if my answer is correct though. You should think about this problem too.
@Karan Chatrath Please share your solution . Thanks in advance.
In my opinion your answer is correct. Because my friend was practicing physics for JEE exam.
And in this exam answer is probably a good number like (1, 5,10,12,) it is not like answer will come 3.873,4.273,9.282.
Say the area vector points into the plane, in the direction of the magnetic field. Consider the initial flux:
Φi=B⋅A=Bab
Now consider the geometry in the final configuration. In the final configuration, had the area of the loop is turned by 180 degrees. The area of one half is:
A1=4abk^A2=−4abk^
Now, the final flux is:
Φf=B⋅A1+B⋅A2=0
Now, let us apply KVL in the loop. the equation would be:
∣dtdΦ∣=LdtdI+IR
Now, consider the system to move from it's initial state to its final state in a time Δt. The initial and final current must be zero. So KVL can also be written as:
∣ΔtΔΦ∣=LΔtΔI+RΔtΔQ
Now, between initial and final states, ΔI=0, so therefore:

This is now I have understood the problem. One of the conducting rods is turned by 180 degrees to achieve the final configuration. So a part of the area is still pointing in its initial direction, but the other half turns by 180 degrees thereby making it oppositely directed.
Because the emf is only induced as long as the loop is turning. Once the loop stops turning, there is no induced emf because flux is no longer changing, so the current decays to zero.
@Karan Chatrath I didn't understand this Problem .
I want to know how to find compression and extension.HELP ME WHENEVER YOU WILL BE FREE.
thanks in advance.

The problem with SHM problems is that while preparing for JEE type exams, people use a lot of shortcut methods to solve them. These shortcuts are different for different types of questions and are not very easy to understand. Treat any SHM problem as a regular mechanics problem.
@Karan Chatrath
–
@Karan Chatrath Exactly. You are absolutely correct.
There are many shortcuts in physics which we use in JEE and when we post those problems in Brilliant., no one use that short cut , You and Steven sir always solve those questions from basic method like a physicist.
By the way do you have given JEE exam?

I want you to describe your approach and not give me a generic answer. Describe your steps.
I analysed the time taken for the two dumbbells to first come into contact.
At that instant, I applied momentum and energy conservation to calculate the final velocities of the two masses that collide, after collision. The other two masses' velocities remain unchanged.
I use the positions and velocities of all the masses as initial conditions to solve the differential equations of motion after collision.
@Karan Chatrath
–
@Karan Chatrath here are some steps which i hae followed.
1)Momentum conservation.
2)Reduced mass system.
3)Simple harmonic
4)Kinematics.

@Karan Chatrath Sorry I don't think I can elaborate more. Because there is nothing in the question which needs to be elaborated. And my english is also not so good. I will upload the solution on 4:00PM today. Bye

@Karan Chatrath But How my ϕfinal is incorrect?
@Karan Chatrath sorry for the delay.posting attempt till 11:30
@Karan Chatrath I have uploaded my attempt above.
@Steven Chase Hello,in case you want to contribute something. You are welcome.
Say the area vector points into the plane, in the direction of the magnetic field. Consider the initial flux:
Φi=B⋅A=Bab
Now consider the geometry in the final configuration. In the final configuration, had the area of the loop is turned by 180 degrees. The area of one half is:
A1=4abk^ A2=−4abk^

Now, consider the system to move from it's initial state to its final state in a time Δt. The initial and final current must be zero. So KVL can also be written as:
∣ΔtΔΦ∣=LΔtΔI+RΔtΔQ
Now, between initial and final states, ΔI=0, so therefore:
∣ΔtΔΦ∣=0+RΔtΔQ
⟹ΔΦ=RΔq

@Karan Chatrath in the 4th step, there are two =.

Edited solution.

@Karan Chatrath the total final flux will cancel out isn't. Because area vectors are opposite. I am bit confused about that?
Log in to reply
Log in to reply
@Karan Chatrath Can be both area vectors in same. How you are deciding direction?.
Log in to reply
Log in to reply
@Karan Chatrath the question is “How you know that the direction of flux through both the triangles are opposite? ”
Log in to reply
Log in to reply
@Karan Chatrath Oh wow! I was also thinking the little bit same. Thanks for clarification.
@Karan Chatrath How do you get 5 only?
@Karan Chatrath I always consider SI units in Physics
@Karan Chatrath wait one last doubt on this question.
I didn't understand 6th to 7th step.? Why the initial and final currents are 0?
Log in to reply
Because the emf is only induced as long as the loop is turning. Once the loop stops turning, there is no induced emf because flux is no longer changing, so the current decays to zero.

@Karan Chatrath Oh yes.Thank you so much.

@Karan Chatrath Thank. I am waiting. By the way my SHM is bit weak. After solving many many problems , I always gets stuck in a new problem.
