Learning Goal: To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 30.1 Electromagnetic Induction. A coil of wire contains N turns and has an electrical resistance R. The radius of each turn is a. The coil is short-circuited. Initially, inside the coil there exists a uniform magnetic field of magnitude B0 parallel to the axis of the coil. The magnetic field is then reduced slowly. The current induced in the coil is I. How long does it take for the magnitude of the uniform field to drop to zero?
