===== Project: Manny's Recycling =====

==== Kick Off Questions ====
  - What direction does the dA vector point? 
  - What is the equation for magnetic flux? Is magnetic flux a vector or a scalar? How do you know? 
  - What makes magnetic flux positive or negative? When will magnetic flux be zero?


==== Main Problem ====
As the last of the reconstructed powerlines get put into place, the citizens of Lakeview are discussing Dr. McPaddel's discovery that a strong magnetic field will temporarily stun the EM-boartigers, allowing one to easily get to safety. Pooling together every last tax dollar, the citizens of Lakeview have decided they should create a constant 5 mT magnetic field everywhere in town to ensure the safety of their citizens.

However, the superstitious local conspiracy theorist Manny Habañero is peppering the Lakeview City Council with questions about the new magnetic field surrounding Lakeview. You see, in addition to his many theories, Manny is a dedicated recycling enthusiast and has been collecting discarded wire coils from the Hawkion accelerator.  Manny was planning to transport a large number of the coils, along with some spare magnets and power supplies, but he is now concerned. He has constructed a variety of scenarios (though some seem a bit outlandish) and asked the Lakeview City Council for answers. Given your expertise, the Lakeview City Council has asked you to analyze each situation to determine: 1) is there an induced current in the given wire coil and 2) if so, what direction is the induced current?

=== Learning Goals === 
  * Use Faraday's Law to determine if there is an induced current
  * Draw dA vectors and determine change in flux for a coil
  * Use the RHR to determine the direction of induced current
  * Identify assumptions to simplify the magnetic flux integral
  * Identify steps needed to determine an induced current direction
  * Explain the difference between conventional current and induced current

==== Wrap Up Questions ====
  - What assumptions are you making in these problems? (Hint: particularly, what assumptions are you making about the B-field?)
  - What would change about your answer if you picked the opposite dA vector? Select one of the scenarios above and fill out the table for both dA vectors - what changes and what stays the same?
  - How do you simplify the flux integral? (Hint: there are two key simplifying steps to simplify the integral!)
  - Out of all of your scenarios - what causes there to be no induced current? What patterns do you see across all the scenarios?
