Homework Statement
A square of wire with side length 1.4 m rotates about an axis through one corner that is perpendicular to the plane of the square with an angular speed of 3 rev/s. There is a uniform magnetic field of 1.2 T perpendicular to the square. Calculate the EMF induced in the square.
Homework Equations
I know we'll need E=N*B*A*w; here, N=1, B=1.2T, and I thought A=1.96 m2, but I'm not sure now.
The Attempt at a Solution
I attempted to do the equation at face-value but realized my geometry is not correct. How would you set up this problem geometrically? I think the problem should be set up with a square formed by the x and z axis and the axis of rotation at the y, maybe something like the diagram I uploaded. But then how do I form the equation from there?
Thanks for any help in advance!
