A loop of wire with a radius of 10 cm is in a uniform magnetic field; it is perpendicular to the field. For a brief moment, the field varies at a rate of 100T/sec (it's not necessarily large, but it varies very quickly). Calculate the EMF in the wire and the induced electric field. If the wire is made of iron and has a diameter of 0.1mm, what current will flow through it? (the resistivity of iron is 9.8 x 10^-8 Ohm-m).
