The current in an infinite solenoid of radius $R$ with uniform magnetic field $\mathbf{B}$ inside is increasing so that the magnitude $B$ in increasing with time as $B=B_0+kt$. If I calculate $V$ along path 1 and path 2 between points A and B, do I get the same answer?

1. Yes
2. No
3. Need more information
Note:
* Correct Answer: B
* My explanation involves going to the case with NO solenoid, where we know that the integral from A to B is path independent, and thus the loop integral all the way around is zero. So, A to B and B to A (the other path) CANCEL each other, making A to B and A to B (other path) EQUAL each other. That’s when the line integral IS zero. But now the line (loop) integral is NOT zero, and so those two integrals cannot still cancel.

A long solenoid of cross sectional area, $A$, creates a magnetic field, $B_0(t)$ that is spatially uniform inside and zero outside the solenoid. SO:
<img src="./images/solenoid_with_B_shown.png" align="center" style="width: 600px";/>
1. $E=\dfrac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}$
2. $E=-A\dfrac{\partial B}{\partial t}\dfrac{1}{\pi r^2}$
3. $E=-A2\pi r\dfrac{\partial B}{\partial t}$
4. $E=-A \dfrac{\partial B}{\partial t}\dfrac{1}{2 \pi r}$

If the arrows represent an E field, is the rate of change in magnetic flux (perpendicular to the page) through the dashed region zero or nonzero?
<img src="./images/curly_E_1.png" align="right" style="width: 500px";/>
1. $\frac{d\Phi}{dt} = 0$
2. $\frac{d\Phi}{dt} \neq 0$
3. ???
Note:
* Correct Answer: A
* Curl E is zero everywhere except at the origin! So, if our loop enclosed the origin, we'd be in trouble!
