    Faraday's Law in the frequency domain

    I'm trying to figure out what faraday's law is in terms of frequency rather than time. I think the equation is V = -N*B*A*2f. Where N is the number of turns in the loop, B is the magnetic field, A is the area and f is the frequency. However I am not totally convinced that my derivation is correct.
