29.74: a) For clarity, figure is rotated so B comes out of the page.

b) To work out the amount of the electric field that is in the direction of the loop at a
general position, we will use the geometry shown in the diagram below.

ε ε ε cos θ
Eloop = E cos θ but E = = =
2πr 2π ( a cos θ ) 2πa
ε cos 2 θ dΦ B dB 2 dB πa 2 dB
⇒ E loop = but ε = =A πr =
2πa dt dt dt cos 2 θ dt
πa 2 dB a dB
⇒ E loop = = , which is exactly the value for a ring, obtained in
2πa dt 2 dt
Exercise 29.29, and has no dependence on the part of the loop we pick.

d) ε ab = ε = L = = 1.75 × 10 −4 V.

But there is potential drop V = IR = −1.75 ×10 −4 V, so the potential difference is zero.
